Coronavirus Diary

Day 9 26th March 2020

There are now 241 cases in Northern Ireland, 11,658 in the UK and just over 1,800 in Ireland. And there are unfortunately now 10 deaths in Northern Ireland. People clapped for NHS workers at 8pm today, which I thought was a good thing to do. I've heard that there's now more cases of Covid-19 in America than there are in China. I'd say that's because a lot of people didn't take it seriously enough, so they weren't social distancing at all.

Today I got up and I watched The Office, it's the first time I've seen it and I think it's hilarious. Steve Carell is one of my favourite actors and he's really funny in The Office. So far I'd say my favourites are Michael, Jim and Pam. I literally hate Pam's fiance, he's clearly a controlling jerk. I'm nearly finished season 1 and I love the show.

Then I continued work on my dissertation with Friends on in the background. When I do my work I put Friends on because I love the show and it helps me not get completely bored with my work.

After that I watched Brain Games and they were showing how they used things in movies. One of the things they did was show a guy smiling and a picture beside him, one of the pictures was a mum and her baby and the other was a murderer. It showed how the man goes from looking friendly to creepy. They also showed how sounds were created for movies and when they asked how the sounds were made I got them all right. I love Brain Games, although I think the original version was better.

I watched The Town which had loads of famous people in it, like Ben Affleck and Jeremy Renner. It was about robbers and one of them started seeing a woman from one of the banks he robbed. I thought the movie was great.

Then I watched A Question of Sport. For the last few hours I was trying to use sites to prank call a friend but they didn't really work unfortunately. Goodbye, I hope you're all doing well.
