The 2019–20 coronavirus pandemic made many people avoid handshakes. A cannibal possibly makes handshakes (a shake containing hands).
A riddle was posted on Reddit—Jokes on April 4, 2020:
Q: Why did the cannibal die of COVID-19?

“What is a customary greeting from a cannibal?”/“He presents you with a handshake” is a related cannibal joke.
