It's hard to believe it's been a year since the official start of the Covid-19 pandemic. I could never imagine our lives would change in such dramatic ways. Since the beginning of lockdown, I've been drawing Covid Life cartoons to blow off some stress, and thought I'd just make a few and would run out of ideas, but the new ideas kept on coming and coming.

Just because everything changed so much, everyday things became surreal. For instance, since all doctor visits became virtual, I was joking the other day that "going" to a doctor would require showing different body parts on a video call, so I turned this conversation into a drawing.

As Zoom fatigue has set in and summer plans have been canceled, it's hard not to feel tired at the end of each day. Drawing has helped lift my mood each evening, it's been a great way to laugh and share some joy with others.

Hope you enjoy this fresh new batch! Previous posts: Part 1, Part  2, Part  3, Part  4, and Part 5.

    if anyone actually expected the vaccine would 100% end covid then they are an idiot. Of course it's going to mutate to survive. It's never going to fully go away. Same as Flu, it will weaken and be less dangerous to the majority of people, but the elderly and vulnerable could need booster shots yearly or so, as with flu. Each year the flu vaccine is different and is decided through guesswork as to what strain will be more predominant that year. :P

    This is true. Though to help deal with that problem they now vaccinate against multiple flus. The season just gone was a quadrivalent vaccine.

    well, no not really. The pandemic is coming around. The virus will mutate as will the different vaccines. I just thought of something. I wonder how many people are going to start misusing the word pandemic. About a year ago next week I think is when I first looked up the word and the difference between epidemic and pandemic. And now I haven't used epidemic for over a year.
