I agree, We haven't seen it at its peak yet and the jokes are old and heard many many times. I hope to God this disease will pass the immature sick minded gimps who don't even know what there joking about ! @SW-User

Dark humor is a coping mechanism many use to make sense of the cruelties in the world. It's not insensitivity it is how some people process things.

I disagree. Making jokes about a serious situation is a way to lighten the load. It is not, in most cases, intended to disrespect the afflicted or to disregard the seriousness of the situation. Many of us have experienced loss more than once. We don't need to be reminded of how it feels.

Humour in the worst of circumstances is one of the things that gets us through them. Gallows humour is well known among first responders for the exact same reasons.
Would you say that face to face to someone who has lost members of there family due to the coronavirus ?
I cannot agree with you. All COVID-19 Jokes are disgusting. @SW-User

@Wearelivinginamadworld Would I say what I've just said? Yes. Would I make a joke about coronavirus to someone who has just lost a loved one? Of course not, because that would be grossly insensitive. There is a time and a place for everything. Am I able to laugh about things that have taken people from me in my own life? Yes, because they're not personal, they're situational and because there was no malice intended.

If we stop laughing about everything which has affected someone in a bad way then we'll never laugh at all.
Of course i agree, we have lost many too.
Im talking about the current situation which hasn't reached its peak yet, and there are many in such distress. No malice intended. Peace to you ✌️@SW-User

My mom died of cancer two years ago. I joke about her all the time. She would be disappointed if I did not. It is really a coping method for her loss.

We need to have respect for those who are mourning, but humor is more important now than ever.

In that light, I would tell you a joke about Coronavirus, but you probably would not get it.

The world gets even darker without humor.

Laughing during a time of crisis makes depression and anxiety better to deal with.

It's not laughing at other people's pain but trying to cope and manage the dark feelings.

I wish my mom was alive right now but I am trying to keep a smile on and laugh where I can or else I would be completely miserable

I don't mind some of it, humor can lighten the stress or burden some feel.
But when that is [i]all[/i] someone shares I wonder about their maturity and lack of empathy.

yes that is exactly my point earlier
