These were written when the pandemic was the only thing anyone was talking about, and the jokes reflect it. This is our set of COVID-19 and coronavirus pick up lines, ranked by reader votes, covering masks, distancing, testing, vaccines and the general strangeness of that period. They read very differently now than when they were submitted. A few still work as general jokes about keeping your distance; most are best understood as a snapshot of the humour people reached for when there was very little else to laugh at.
