97 Coronavirus Quotes That Show Human Beings Will Always Find The Funny Side, Even In A Crisis
The Coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic has been devastating, globally. Of that, we can all agree.
With the casualties rising, worrying press conferences, small businesses shuttering and an over-extended health service, there's not been a lot of positive news to come out of the health crisis over the last year, naturally.
And with news that a new Covid-19 variant, Omicron, has been identified in the likes of Scotland, South Africa, Austria and Israel, there are now concerns social distancing measures and restrictions will soon become stricter as the World Health Organisation designated Omicron a 'variant of concern'.However, as the British are wont to do, making light of the situation is the first port of call defence mechanism, to soothe collective anxiety. So whether that's quasi-philosophical Coronavirus quotes or full-on Coronavirus jokes, here is a sample of what's out there, to give you a little light relief.
Some have used their time to try and write pithy, impactful statements, to offer some words of encouragement, while others are just here for the LOLs, with Coronavirus memes or parodies.

Jokes About Louis C.K.'s Coronavirus Stand-Up Special
In a rather more NSFW moment, controversial American comedian Louis C.K. announced a new stand-up special 'for those who need to laugh' during these testing times. The announcement was met with a mixed response, considering the comedian's recent media trial, on counts of alleged sexual misconduct.
In 2017, the C.K. was accused of misconduct - which included allegations of him masturbating in front of people without their consent - by five different women. At first, he either refused to comment on, or denied the allegations, but the day after the New York Times released their exposé, Louis C.K. put out a statement admitting to many of the accusations levelled against him.
After the news that C.K. was planning a one-off comedy 'special' during lockdown, other comedians and writers took to Twitter to poke fun at the situation, imagining what jokes C.K. might be planning to use in his coronavirus-show.
Some are definitely too NSFW to share (click here if you want to read the whole thread), but here are a few:
