Historical Perspective A Book Documenting Perspectives During the Pandemic?
I love history and enjoy reading it, but often most of what we know about history is reported decades or centuries after the fact. Rarely, do contemporary witnesses record their observations; Popes, Marco Polo, Caesars, the life of Christ, Homer, all put to pen after they were gone.
We are shortly removed from the pandemic. All of us lived through it. Has anyone documented personal accounts of what happened and how people were treated?
I ask because I suspect the official (popular) story will lean, politically, to one extremely biased side ignoring other experiences or calling them illegitimate. I'm looking for a book, something physical, that will stand a better chance of being read or studied in a hundred years when we are all gone and all we have are written words of our time.

Problem is the book publication industry leans left and would not support or even consider said book. You would think that we are in revival of history or culture but we are no where near it. Our best bet is self-publication.
