The cases of pneumonia by Chinese authorities in the Chinese city of Wuhan in December 2019 have been a message of a epidemic caused by the new coronavirus. The World Health Organization has recently announced a global epidemic based on the spread rate of the epidemic and its global scale. The first coronavirus diagnosis in Turkey was announced in March 2020. Since this date, many measures have been taken in the social, economic, legal, religious and military areas. During the global epidemic process, city legends, rumors, jokes and myths about the changing ways of life along with viruses and viruses have been put into circulation through social media. The lovers, who are important actors of traditional culture, have also spoken poems about the global epidemic and its effects. The behavior of lovers sensitive to the problems of their ages is closely related to the social roles incurred on them in the tradition of love. Their roles, such as leadership and guidance of the society with the works of lovers, appear to affect both the reason and the content of these poems. Lovers have shared their works through social media networks and YouTube, especially in the time when the street is restricted. This article focuses on the poems they publish through YouTube with the idea that it allows lovers to reach their different audience. The comments under the videos were used to evaluate the view of the audience’s love tradition. Most of the works of lovers are about why and how the coronavirus may arise, how it affects everyday life, how mankind is disappointed with the virus. The works that advise to stay at home and contain support messages to health workers are also told by lovers. Lovers have managed to become visible, especially during the quarantine process, by performing their poems in electronic media. But with regard to the historical development of love tradition, it is undoubted that lovers and their productions lose relatively value and that their role in directing and leading society is also limited to a particular audience compared to the past. In the article, the question of what expectations the lovers are responding to by dealing with the problems of the age and using their technologies, and in which fields they remain insufficient, is discussed in the light of the social roles of the lovers. Those who listen to the works of the lovers think their thoughts that the virus is a divine punishment and that the destruction of the wicked and evil by the virus is in conflict with the roles of leadership in society. When interpreting the coronavirus epidemic and its effects, it is clear that the language and style that lovers sometimes use and sometimes their views are behind the age by those who listen to these works.
