Updated March 13 2020, 12:26 p.m. ET
Yes, it might feel like it's too soon to be joking about the coronavirus, but listen. We get that coronavirus is serious (114,230 people have been affected and 4,005 people have died from it to date), but non-stop panic is also not helping anyone out. We have to get through this thing together, and one of the best coping mechanisms is humor. Especially internet humor! These coronavirus memes will distract you from the latest scary numbers and stories and remind you that you're not alone here.
Most of us are at least a little bit nervous about the spread of coronavirus and what that means for our health as well as economy, but in the meantime...scroll through these coronavirus memes and laugh a little.

Now THIS makes sense.
