Pandemic Side Effects: A Tragic Comedy of Unintended Consequences

New York Book Festival Honorable Mention - Best Compilation / Anthology The Pandemic of 2020 had many effects on the global population: tragic deaths, lockdown of businesses, schools, churches, everyday life ceased to exist as we knew it. We adapted as best we could – many working from home in every type of business imaginable, from major corporations to mom & pop stores. There was panic at first. Then the drive to survive and overcome – which we did, to the best of our ability. This book is about the unexpected 'side effects' of this tragedy – how people coped with the awful situation, and many did with humor. Lives were turned upside down and there were times…all we had left was to laugh. Our lives became absurd and this is a collection of the unintended consequences of the lockdown, lack of supplies, no visits with family for months, no shopping in stores, and more. Assembled by award-winning author Jeffrey Weber, whose sense of humor has served him well as a music producer for 30 years and illustrator Bob Wynne.
