OK. We are now realising that four weeks is a long time.

And today's news of our first death makes it very sobering.

We will need a lot of patience, taking the restrictions seriously. And we will need to try hard with 'willful kindness'.

A little humour will probably help too.

So this page is here for you to share Covid-19 and coronavirus humour.

Yes, I know, the situation from the virus itself, and the distressing economic and social fallout is no joke, it is serious and even a deadly business.

But a little humour might help all the same.

Here is one to start: the definition of Irony: when the Year of the Rat starts with a plague.

Or, Mexico is asking Trump to hurry up and build the wall NOW! (And they might now actually pay for it! H/T GV.)

Over to you in the comment section below.

(Please keep it basically clean, and no racism in any guise.)

Also, we are planning to start another page for Kids Jokes, so you can help them with a bit of humour too.

We welcome your comments below. If you are not already registered, please register to comment.

Remember we welcome robust, respectful and insightful debate. We don't welcome abusive or defamatory comments and will de-register those repeatedly making such comments. Our current comment policy is here.

Q: What goes up and never comes down?
A: Mr Muldoon's prices

A pretty lame 'joke' that did the rounds in the playgrounds of NZ circa late 1970s /1980.
Anyone else remember that one?

Monty Python is always good. Farcical comedy for farcical times.

Re-float from days back if I may indulge. Explains the challenges presented to both the medical staff and patients alike. Spike Milligan at Bexhill camp circa 1941. Lunch in the mess tent. Serves up boiled potatoes, boiled peas, boiled sausages. The Medical Officer walks in amongst the tables and asks “any complaints?” Up pipes one private “yes sir, me sir, I’ve got piles.” Says the MO “that’s bloody strange, everyone else has got sausages.”

Seems one of the symptoms is loss of sense of taste. So I am eating something every hour, to test I am okay.

It was a quiet Monday morning in September 2053 when John woke up and had to go to the bathroom. But this was no ordinary day for John!! This was the day he would open the last packet of toilet paper his parents bought in the year 2020.

A plane with 5 passengers on board -- Donald Trump, Boris Johnson, Jacinda Adern, the Pope and a 10-year-old schoolgirl -- is about to crash and there are only 4 parachutes. Trump says "I need one. I’m the smartest man in the USA and I'm needed to solve the pandemic!" He takes one parachute and jumps. Johnson says ‘I’m needed to sort out the COVID-19 mess in to Britain’. He takes one and jumps. The Pope says, "The world's Catholics depend on me for comfort in a time of fear." He takes one and jumps. "You can have the last parachute," Jacinda says to the 10-year-old. "I've lived a good part of my life. Yours is only just starting." The little girl replies: "Don’t worry, there are 2 parachutes left, the smartest man in the USA just took my school bag."

I thought we needed a good laugh!!!

Yes, and then it will be necessary for everyone to prove they are OK. And you can't be out without proof of vaccination.
