“The 12 Days of Corona” (song parody)

The 2020 COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic resulted in many changes to the classic song “The Twelve Days of Christmas,” often called “The 12 Days of Corona” or “The 12 Days of 2020.” The one common line was “6 feet apart.”
   
Parody songs have been printed on many images. “On the first day of Covid my true love coughed on me” is a related joke.
   
     
Wikipedia: COVID-19 pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic, also known as the coronavirus pandemic, is an ongoing pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), first identified in December 2019 in Wuhan, China. The outbreak was declared a Public Health Emergency of International Concern in January 2020 and a pandemic in March 2020.
 
Wikipedia: The Twelve Days of Christmas (song)
“The Twelve Days of Christmas” is an English Christmas carol that enumerates in the manner of a cumulative song a series of increasingly numerous gifts given on each of the twelve days of Christmas (the twelve days that make up the Christmas season, starting with Christmas Day). The song, published in England in 1780 without music as a chant or rhyme, is thought to be French in origin. “The Twelve Days of Christmas” has a Roud Folk Song Index number of 68. The tunes of collected versions vary. The standard tune now associated with it is derived from a 1909 arrangement of a traditional folk melody by English composer Frederic Austin, who introduced the familiar prolongation of the verse “five gold rings” (now often “five golden rings”).
