So while funny jokes — even coronavirus and quarantine jokes — might feel gratuitous in the face of today’s world, they can actually do a lot of good.

While we obviously need to treat COVID-19 and the time of the pandemic with reverence, it’s okay to find the humor in some of it. A well-timed pandemic joke can help us make sense of the traumatic year we’ve just been through.
