Pandemic Humour

With much of the world currently dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting need to mostly stay at home because of it, it is a sombre time for most of us - yet, there has been a marked increase in memes, jokes, spoofs, and satire on the subject. We look at why and how humour has become such a big part of coping with the pandemic.
