The 2019–20 coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic saw some “sick joke” versions. “COVID-19, the Flu, and the common cold all walk into a bar. The bartender asks, ‘what is this? Some kind of sick joke ...’” was posted on Facebook by Patrick Helton on September 25, 2020. “The Coronavirus, the flu, and a common cold walk into a bar.
