“An epidemiologist, an ICU doctor and a scientist all walk into a bar…” (bar joke)

Entry in progress—B.P.
 
“A guy walks into a bar…” is a typical form of what has been called the “bar joke.” However, during the 2019–20 coronavirus pandemic, most bars were closed.
 
“A man doesn’t walk into a bar…,” “A man doesn’t walk into a pub…,” “An Englishman, an Irishman and a Scotsman don’t walk into a bar” and “An Englishman, an Irishman and a Scotsman walk into a bar. Those were the days” are related jokes.

An epidemiologist, an ethicist, and a moral philosopher walk into a bar and sit at different tables because they’re practicing social distancing

An epidemiologist, an ethicist, and a game theorist walk into a bar. Actually, no. They don’t. #COVID2019 #PSA

So, a virologist, and epidemiologist and a doctor walked into a bar.
Of course they didn’t.
