    How acceptable are Corona jokes? Which joke is perfectly OK, and where do you cross the line? What would be the equivalent of muttering "I worry about the bomb in my suitcase" aboard an airplane? - something that you just don't do? Is is OK to answer all telephone calls with an initial couch? Can you clear your throat on subway, making a muttered comment about "it is just in my chest"? Can you cough and remind people around you not to get any closer than one meter, as recommended by health authorities? Can you make a drawing of a religious person, usually depicted with a glorie around his head, but now that glorie has grown this bush-like mushrooms? Can you joke about people in panic from corona spreading on the Internet? Can you make generic jokes like "Good thing we will have less ...... when it is over! (Fill in your favorite population group)"? Can you make non-generic, more specific jokes like that? Can you draw Bob (that's his name, isn't it?) with a corona crown on his head? (today it is a hat with flowers) Can you make parodies on statements made by political leaders? Can you draw an old lady laying in a coffin with a corona crown on her head? Is there any corona joke that would be really bad taste?

                  If you have to have it explained to you, then you probably should not attempt it. This golden rule applies to more things in life than just humor.

                      So you say there is an absolute, undisputable, single answer. There is no graded scale. Then there are only two alternatives: No joking whatsoever is acceptable. Or anything is acceptable. I suspect that you go for the first alternative. I am not sure if the Norwegian term "galgenhumor" can be directly translated to English: "Gallows humour". It refers to the kind of jokes a delinquent makes before he is killed. Or in a more modern setting: Making jokes on in an extremely bleak situation, about that situation, to make people laugh at at to keep spirits up. A special kind of black humour, the one that is not just black, but refers to your own current situation. I dare to claim that this sort or humour has saved a few lives: When people can laugh at their own situation, they may gain the strength to survive it. I accept that you think it is better to keep the situation as bleak as possible, smile at nothing, laugh at noting that is related to it. So you are free to ignore all such things. Consider my request to be directed at those who think humour can be an essential element in handling hardships. It is not evident how far the joking might go, and it certainly varies from one society to another, one setting to another. It is not at all obvious that a joke crossing the border line in one specific society in one specific setting could not cause a releaving laugh and give a mental push to people ina completely different setting in a completely different society.

                          Is there any question scoring for points on bad taste? Is there anyone who doesn't care about their grandparents and wants some upvotes? Is there anyone who thinks this is worth a joke? :) Yes, it is bad taste. Still, not as much as the people who try to make a profit from it. If you need desinfectant, just buy pure alcohol. It's cheap and abundant.

                            So what did he say? "If you have to have it explained to you, then you probably should not attempt it" sounds to me quite clearly like "There answer is unambiguous, there is nothing to be explained". If you think he said nothing of that sort, said neither that "Anything goes" nor "This is not to be joked about", then what did he say?

                              On the serious side: In Norway it is certainly not "cheap and abundant". You may know a home destiller, with his illegal activities, but those with quality products are few and far between. The strongest you can buy in the licour stores is 60%, but according to medicals, it should be between 75 and 80% - but not any stronger. Yet... When asking about the effect of antibaceria aids on viruses in Norwegian media, it came out (amidst the general outcry of "Never ever question advice given by health officials!") that various viruses have quite different reactions to acohol and other antibacterial measures. I have searched in vain for specific information about the Corona. Nowhere have I found trustworthy, reliable information from an health authority source saying anything specific about how Corona compares to other viruses regarding alcohol/antibac. Honestly: I would think that this could be easily tested out and reported. I am quite sure that the health autorities do know. But nowhere do they make any Corona specific claims about the effect of alcohol/antibac. Obviously: Making sure that your body is not weakened by any other bacteria infection makes you better prepared to stand up against Corona. So it is not a bad idea to use alcohol/antibac to fight those other threats. But I wouldn't at all be surprised if we, half a year from now, say that "Alcohol/antibac had no real effect on the Corona itself. The 'mechanical' removal, flushing it down the drain through hand washing was significant. The chemical side of alcohol/abtibac: Not so". I just can't understand why health authorites are so reluctant to tell openly how sensitive (or possibly: non-sensitive) Corona ia to alcohol / antibac, compared to other viruses.

(Fill in your favorite population group)"? Can you make non-generic, more specific jokes like that? Can you draw Bob (that's his name, isn't it?) with a corona crown on his head? (today it is a hat with flowers) Can you make parodies on statements made by political leaders? Can you draw an old lady laying in a coffin with a corona crown on her head? Is there any corona joke that would be really bad taste?

                                  Making a pandemic joke is good because everybody gets it!

                                  If you can't laugh at yourself - ask me and I will do it for you.

                                      On the serious side: In Norway it is certainly not "cheap and abundant". You may know a home destiller, with his illegal activities, but those with quality products are few and far between. The strongest you can buy in the licour stores is 60%, but according to medicals, it should be between 75 and 80% - but not any stronger. Yet... When asking about the effect of antibaceria aids on viruses in Norwegian media, it came out (amidst the general outcry of "Never ever question advice given by health officials!") that various viruses have quite different reactions to acohol and other antibacterial measures. I have searched in vain for specific information about the Corona. Nowhere have I found trustworthy, reliable information from an health authority source saying anything specific about how Corona compares to other viruses regarding alcohol/antibac. Honestly: I would think that this could be easily tested out and reported. I am quite sure that the health autorities do know. But nowhere do they make any Corona specific claims about the effect of alcohol/antibac. Obviously: Making sure that your body is not weakened by any other bacteria infection makes you better prepared to stand up against Corona. So it is not a bad idea to use alcohol/antibac to fight those other threats. But I wouldn't at all be surprised if we, half a year from now, say that "Alcohol/antibac had no real effect on the Corona itself. The 'mechanical' removal, flushing it down the drain through hand washing was significant. The chemical side of alcohol/abtibac: Not so". I just can't understand why health authorites are so reluctant to tell openly how sensitive (or possibly: non-sensitive) Corona ia to alcohol / antibac, compared to other viruses.

                                      Alcohol does not necessarily mean ethanol. Most hand sanitizers probably use Isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol which should be available in drug stores, Walmart type stores, or hardware stores (paint department?) for a lot less than Drinkin' Alcolhol. A liter or Vodka around here will set you back at least $40. A liter of Isopropyl is about $7. So cheap, and unless the hoarders have twigged on to it, its probably plentiful, too.

                                        I might put that on a T-shirt of mine! :-)

                                          If you have to have it explained to you, then you probably should not attempt it. This golden rule applies to more things in life than just humor.

                                          Its like if you have to explain the joke then don't bother.

                                          cheers Chris Maunder
