The Corona Chronicles

By Terrance T. Toth

The Corona Chronicles is a humorous look back at the last 12 months of the very annoying COVID-19 pandemic.
It contains 200 "jokes" collected by the author and shared with 50 friends through a daily e-mail offering. This
mailing was well-received by recipients--some of whom suggested that these jokes would make a book that other
people would be interested in reading. And so The Corona Chronicles was born.

The addition of illustrations was designed to "lighten" the book. Some of these illustrations are spot-on and add
another dimension to the humor--the author and artist sincerely hope. [In the words of Confucious: "Give man one
joke and he laugh for one day; give man 200 jokes and he laugh a lot longer."]

Dear Reader,

I’ve been collecting jokes about the Corona

virus since soon after it was identified and

named. In those 10 months I have collected

well over 200 of them!

Around April of 2020 I started sending out

a Daily Offering to a list of about 50 friends

that I thought would enjoy laughing at this

COVID-19 pandemic. (Better to laugh than

to cry is my motto!)

A couple of months ago a few of the folks

getting the daily mailing suggested that I

put together a book containing all of the

irreverent (and, hopefully, funny) jokes I

had accumulated.

So I did. And you now are holding in your

hands the result of that effort. It would be

perfectly honest to tell you that collecting

200 Corona virus jokes is a bit of a chore.

But coming up with 40 illustrations to go

with them—and to actually self-publish a

book showcasing them—was a lot more

daunting job!

But it is all done now, and I can go back

to my lazy routines of retirement without

a care in the world.

Anyway, I hope you get a chuckle out

of this small book that took up such much

time and effort. And I want to publically

thank all of the people who enjoyed the

Daily Offering and submitted the jokes

which you will see in this publication.

They are the
