There isn't anything to laugh about anymore.
There is always something to find humour in, even if for a fleeting moment, it becomes a few seconds "holiday" for your mental health from the horrors of reality. Did you watch the video in the OP? As bad as you think life is at a particular point in time, I promise you that it can get worse. There is always something of value to loose, always. However the same is true in reverse ....there is always something of value to gain. On that note

Coronavirus impacting release date of new emojis in 2021
Smartphone users will have to wait a little longer for new emojis.
A non-profit group called the 'Unicode Constortium' oversees the creation of emojis.
The group has decided to postpone the release of version 14.0 of the Unicode Standard by 6 months.
Unicode Constortium, which relies heavily on volunteers, is pushing back the release date due to the COVID-19 outbreak.
Typically, new emojis are announced earlier in the year and added to mobile devices in September. The group says any new emoji characters incorporated into Emoji 14.0 would appear on phones and other devices in 2022.

Reflections on the Virus: 1. Half of us are going to come out of this quarantine as amazing cooks. The other half with a drinking problem 2. I used to spin that toilet paper like I was on Wheel of Fortune, now I turn it like I'm cracking a safe 3. I need to practice social distancing with the refrigerator 4. I still haven't decided where to go for Easter -- the living room or the bedroom 5. Every few days, try your jeans on just to make sure they still fit. Pajamas will have you believe all is well in the kingdom. 6. I don't think anyone expected when we changed the clocks, we'd go from Standard Time to the Twilight Zone 7. This morning, I saw my neighbor talking to her cat again. It was obvious she thought her cat understood her. When I got back into the house, I told my dog and we both laughed. 8. My body has absorbed so much soap and disinfectant lately that when I pee, it cleans the toilet. 9. I'm so excited it's time to take out the garbage. What should I wear? 10. I hope the weather is good tomorrow for my trip to "Puerto Backyarda" cos I'm getting real tired of "Los Livingroom." 11. Classified ad: "Single man with toilet paper seeks woman with hand sanitizer for good clean fun..." 12. Better 6 feet apart than 6 feet under ... ! !
13. I learned how to use all of those goofy kitchen gadgets we had been given at our wedding 25 years ago. 14. Taught myself to play "Stairway to Heaven" on the ukelele. 15. Tried out my wife's "Mango & Creme" facemask. Got bored. Ate it instead.
