The 2020 COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic made many people wonder if Santa Claus would still deliver presents on Christmas Day. Many people said that Santa Claus would still do his job because he has “santabodies” or “santibodies” (Santa + antibodies).
     
“‘If covid is still around at Christmas time, how are you going to explain to your kids why Santa is allowed to visit millions of households?’ ‘Santibodies’” was posted on Twitter by Mikie Winfield on August 6, 2020. “How’s Santa going to deliver presents at Christmas with COVID still around? Santibodies” was posted on Twitter by Pneffk later on August 6, 2020. “Why can’t Santa Claus get COVID-19? He has santibodies” was posted on Reddit—Dadjokes on November 22, 2020.
     
“How does Santa stay healthy through the winter?  Santabodies” was posted on Twitter by Pine Kat Audio on November 10, 2010. “‘Why is Santa immune to COVID?’ Me: .... @samharrelson ‘He has Santabodies!’” was posted on Twitter by Rev. Merianna Harrelson on November 20, 2020. “Why is Santa immune from COVID? Because he has Santabodies” was posted on Twitter by Aurora (she/her) on November 21, 2020.
         
“Why are Santa’s reindeer allowed to travel on Christmas Eve?”/“They have herd immunity” is a related joke.
