Coronavirus Diary

Day 59 15th May 2020

There are now 4,317 cases in Northern Ireland, 236,711 in the UK and 23,956 in Ireland. There are over 300,000 deaths worldwide which is very sad.

I saw a news article that said a university in china had leaked infected figures and they claimed there's actually 640,000 cases there. I hope that isn't true, but it could be. It's shocking and scary if it is true.

There's an app for people in the UK that tells people when they're near someone with Covid-19. I won't be downloading it for two reasons, one I don't really trust the government/politicians and I think they could use the app to track people. And number two I'd end up being paranoid if it sent a notification saying I was near someone with coronavirus. I'd end up worrying that I had it.

I got up and the news was on so I half watched it. I went out for a drive with my mum, I took her to the chemist. I really hate reversing, it's so confusing and I always end up going into the hedge.

When I got back I played some Hogwarts Mystery and I'm on a timed event for the Celestial Ball. I really wish they weren't timed, it'd be a lot less stressed. And it's awful when I'm busy and don't have time to do the times side quests.

I got my dissertation uploaded and finished finally. I'm glad it's over, but unfortunately I still have an exam to do.

Then I played Spider-Man and there was a bit that was timed. I had to web these things that held water in them. I failed it the first two times because I found it difficult to do and I didn't really know how to do it.

Then I watched You've Been Framed and there was a funny bit where a kid was running to jump in water. She jumped too early and she slid on the wood, I'm sure it was sore.

After that I watched part of Little Women. It had a lot of famous people in it like Meryl Streep, Laura Dern, Saoirse Ronan and Timothee Chalamet.

It's a movie about all the different sisters. I really think I would've liked it if it had been in the right order. I was fine with it at the start but then I found out that it wasn't in order and I had no idea what was going on.

I've never read the book or seen any other Little Women TV or movie adaptation. Even my parents were complaining and my mum has probably read the book and seen another version of Little Women.

Halfway through we stopped watching it because my dad had fallen asleep, I wasn't watching it because it was too confusing and my mum wasn't enjoying it. It's so disappointing because my mum and I expected to like it, it has loads of famous people in it and it got loads of good reviews. I'd say don't waste your time with this film.

So we watched Instinct instead. There was an artist who I assume was loosely based on Banksy and it seemed as if they were murdering people and putting them as art. They found out that there were three people who were the artists, one did the sculpture, one did the painting and the other came up with the message.

Two of them wanted to tell the public that they were the artists but the third one didn't want to say. So he killed them both.

Lizzie broke up with Julian because he does work that he has to keep a secret, I think she doesn't like the secrets and she's worried about him being killed. It's unfortunate because I quite like them together, maybe he'll quit his job for her.

Then I watched A Question of Sport and it was the final episode of the series. Matt and Phil were tied, so whoever won that episode would win the whole series.

There was a bit where Phil had to name the top ten countries with the most athletic medals at the athletics 2016 Olympics I think it was. If they get an answer wrong they lose all the points they've earned, so they need to decide when they want to stay with their points.

They had 3 or something right and for some reason Phil said China, he got the wrong answer. He hadn't even mentioned any of the African countries like Kenya and Ethiopia who usually do well in the long distance running.

There was also the mystery guest and I thought the first guy was Rio Ferdinand, but he was actually David James. I was in the right Sport at least. I thought I didn't know who David James was until they showed him on the screen and I remembered that he'd been on Strictly Come Dancing.

Another mystery guest was on and for some reason my mum thought it was Jessica Ennis. I guessed Rebecca Adlington and I got it right. 

Matt won the episode so he won the whole series as well.

That's all for today, I hope you're all safe.
