About Covid Chronicles
Covid Chronicles is a humorous and insightful retrospective on our response to the coronavirus pandemic. Every single part of our society was completely turned upside down for the better part of two years. With the benefit of perspective, we look back and commemorate the good, the bad, and the ugly ways we reacted to the disease.
There are 101 items to remember, broken down into Sports, Religion, Travel, Entertainment, Education, Shopping, Restaurants, Culture, Politics, and Healthcare, with full illustrations to match each memory.
Covid Chronicles will help you…
• Relive the good times:
Zoom Happy Hours, Binge-watching Tiger King, and Ordering Large Quantities of DoorDash, as families came together and bonded like never before.
• Remind you of the bad times:
Travel Restrictions, Virtual Schooling, and No Sporting Events, as we struggled to keep our sanity.
• Recognize the ugly times:
Toilet Paper Shortages, Essential Workers Being Pushed to the Limit, and Mass Hysteria Around Masks, while the crazy came out of even the best of us.
There are 101 amazing pandemic memories in this book, with beautifully jarring and humorous full illustrations to match the narrative. Together, we weathered the storm of COVID-19, and Covid Chronicles serves as a reminder that our collective ordeal was undeniably real!
