Bad jokes and dark humor for a dark time (corona virus)


What I worry most about is that the self quarantine will be over too soon. Just when you start getting used to not having to deal with other people.

Who would have thought pangolins would be the downfall of democracy and capitalism?

If it was George Bush, he would go off and eliminate armadillos. [Turns out it was Joe Biden, and he sent masks and test kits two years too late.]

Expect to hear about the war on bats.

Update: America watched in horror as Derek Chauvin murdered George Floyd, in public, on camera. At the same time coronavirus is raging through the country and a lot of deaths are from side effects of coronavirus. So when a person dies of a heart attack, having Covid19, it is not clear if it should be counted as a coronavirus death or a regular heart attack. It turns out George Floyd had, or had had, coronavirus - the jokes write themselves.

Update: Reality is funnier than I could be. The pandemic has started to play itself out, as a nasty but not usually fatal disease, that everyone gets, with symptoms that can be meliorated with medicines, vaccines, and therapies. Just in time for this the US government is sending people masks and test kits - both of which strategies have been prone to failure anyway.
