“I’ll take a Corona, hold the virus” (bar request)

The 2019–20 coronavirus pandemic ad nothing to do with Corona beer, but there were jokes. One line had a customer walk into a bar and say to the bartender, “I’ll take a Corona, hold the virus.”
   
“Bartender, I’ll have a Corona - hold the virus” was posted on Twitter by Dan O’Brien on January 21, 2020. “Yea I’ll take a corona, hold the virus plz” was posted on Twitter by Elijah Ford on January 24, 2020.
 
“I’ll take a Corona, hold the virus” has been printed on many images,

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but if you go out to a bar, please DO NOT order a “corona, hold the virus.” It’s not funny and I can guarantee you that you weren’t the 1st person to say it.. and the bartender is already tired of fake laughing at it.

Fast forward to when all this shit has passed, and bartenders hear, “I’ll have a Corona, hold the virus.” from white people.
