COVID Chronicles
COVID Chronicles | Ethan Sacks
9 posts | 1 read | 5 to read
An illustrated feature chronicling ten personal accounts of life and death from the frontlines of COVID-19. These true stories from journalist Ethan Sacks (Old Man Hawkeye) are brought to vivid life by Dalibor Talajic (Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe, Hotell). Originally distributed online by NBC News, these tales of hope amidst devastation are now available in print for the first time, fully colored, with behind-the scenes features. From a man stuck in Wuhan during the initial days of the outbreak to an ICU nurse in the thick of one of the busiest hospitals in the country to an Italian opera singer who goes viral while trying to bring hope to his devastated neighborhood, this series takes you where news cameras couldnt go.

I‘m slowly but surely recovering. I‘m cautiously spending time around kiddo, hubby, and kitty, but no hugs yet. The worst is over but the cough remains, and if it‘s like every other winter illness I‘ve ever had the cough will remain for weeks. Hubby is still handling cooking duties but decided he can‘t live without macaroni and cheese, so I‘ve been talking him through making the roux. Send good thoughts, please. 👇🏻

ravenlee I spent today rescheduling all the medical stuff I was supposed to do this week and now it‘s spread out over the next six weeks 😡. Oh, and there was a water main repair in my neighborhood that unexpectedly shut down our water supply for an hour. Now our water probably needs to be boiled before use but they haven‘t told us that yet. 11mo
ravenlee At least #DannyBoy was happy to get some love. He purred so loud! 11mo
TheBookHippie Oh my word. How awful! I hope you continue to heal well. Ughhhh. 11mo

Ruthiella Sending healing vibes! Crossing my fingers for the roux. But as a non-cook , I‘ve successfully managed it. So I think he‘s gonna be ok. 11mo
dabbe You've had some major rough patches! Thinking of you and hoping things turn around and that you're feeling better soon. 💙❄️💙 11mo
julesG My GP told me that the lung tissue sheds dead cells while regenerating after the cold/flu/Covid/... Which can take up to eight weeks - can't be done all at once, understandably. That's why some people coughing for ages after an infection. 11mo
julesG Hope you feel better soon. 11mo
Chrissyreadit Hoping you continue healing and feel better each day! 11mo
ravenlee @julesG that makes a lot of sense, and explains why that cough always lingers for so long. Thanks everyone @TheBookHippie @Ruthiella @dabbe @Chrissyreadit I saw the PA today and got a steroid shot, plus some meds to pick up later. Whether it became bronchitis, or is RSV or just lingering COVID cough, hopefully this will manage it. She also gave me “in case” meds so if it‘s not better soon I have the next steps and don‘t need to be seen on XMas. 11mo
TheBookHippie @ravenlee 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻oh I hope it all works. 11mo
dabbe Keeping you in my thoughts. 💙❄️💙 11mo
julesG 🤞🏻🤞🏻 Hope you see some improvements soon 11mo
kspenmoll So sorry you‘re going through this -sending you love and hope everything that you have helps you heal soon 11mo

Whelp…today‘s test was undeniably positive. Tuesday‘s was negative, but I‘ve been feeling progressively worse every day. Kiddo is sniffly but maybe just has a cold. Hubby‘s ears started popping today. I played my concert last night (double-masked) after missing the rehearsal; and I already canceled my weekend gig and my dental appointment on Monday.

This sucks. Merry Christmas.

Deblovestoread Hope your symptoms stay mild and you have a quick and full recovery! ❤️‍🩹 11mo

This one is tough. #COVID #pandemic #bearwitness

TrishB Not sure I‘m ready for any of that yet 😞 3y
BookishMarginalia @TrishB I understand. I can do it only because I‘m fully vaccinated and so are all my close friends and family, so it feels more manageable… otherwise, no way 😳 3y
TrishB Neatly there. Kids waiting for second dose. I feel like I need to slowly get over it before can come to terms with how it‘s affected all of us. If that makes sense! 3y
BookishMarginalia @TrishB makes total sense! 3y

I‘m having a negative reaction to my first dose of the vaccine. So my day is going to be spent resting and drinking cafe con leche. It‘s been over a year since I last drank coffee. It‘s not good for me. But it will make my lung issue easier today. So small sips.

dariazeoli Feel better. Hydration helped me a lot last week! 4y
Bookwomble I hope the side effects don't last too long for you 💗 4y
quirkyreader @dariazeoli I was drinking water like crazy yesterday and will still be today. 4y

Hestapleton My bestie and I both had a bad reaction side effect wise to our first dose but it cleared up within 24 hours! Hang in there! 4y
OrangeMooseReads I didn‘t respond wonderfully to my first dose either. Mine lasted about 24-36 hours. Hope you feel better soon. 4y
