Pete's Pandemic by Peter Davidson

Pete's Pandemic is all of our stories yet none of our stories. It is one man's attempt to understand the new reality caused by the coronavirus. We all have had to come to terms with very different lives. This is Jimmy Tolmie's attempt to manage his stress through humour, reflection, philosophy, reminiscence and current events. At times self-conscious, periodically stream-of-consciousness, occasionally controversial, Jimmy has struggled to find a way out of his stress through the medium of daily writings to friends. His book reflects 100 days of quarantine and then lockdown. It is an attempt to find common ground, to emerge on the other side with ethics and equanimity intact. It is hoped that the reader will find some point of contact between his or her own perspectives and those of the writer.
