What Needs To Happen For The UK To Get Out Of Lockdown

This lockdown has been going on for a while now so you are probably asking yourself how can use in the UK get out of this lockdown what does it take for us to get out of the lockdown.

There are a lot of things that will be taken into account before the UK lockdown can be lifted most of all it is the number of deaths that have happened during that day because of the virus and the number of people that have been infected that day. The government has also issued a list of what needs to happen before the UK lockdown can be lifted. You can see this list below. Now, this does not mean that the government will not lift the lockdown at all until these things are meant they might lift some things at a time but they probably won't to make sure that there is not a second peak.

List of what needs to happen before it can be lifted- 

  • Protect the NHS's ability to cope and be confident that the NHS is able to provide sufficient critical care across the UK.
  • See a sustained and consistent fall in daily death rates to be confident the UK is beyond the peak.
  • Reliable data from Sage showing rate of infection is decreasing to manageable levels across the board.
  • Confident that testing capacity and PPE are in hand with supply able to meet future demand.
  • Confident that any adjustments to the current measures would not risk a second peak in infections which would overwhelm the NHS.
The main thing that needs to happen is that we have got to test at least 100,000 people a day and some sites say that this is not going to be possible for at least 3 years as we just do not have the resources. Right now we are testing about 50,000 people a day so we are halfway there but if we do not step this testing up then we will never leave this lockdown. I think they should set remote testing sites up like they have done in America so that all of the public can go and get tested but I do not think that will happen any time soon. 

We need to get this mass testing done so that we can all leave this lockdown and so that we can all see our loved ones again. The government might start to lift the lockdown in small parts may be using the bubble scheme so that we can all go and see a small bubble of people maybe a maximum of 10 people but I am not sure if they will implement this yet. I will let you all know if I find anything else out about the long down but until then as always from me...

NEW IOS 13.5 Beta Makes Face Unlock Easier If You Are Wearing A Mask

Apple is always updating there IOS to make it a lot more user friendly. There latest update will mean that if you are using face Id to unlock your phone and you are wearing a mask it will skip the Face ID and just show the passcode.

The updates to the IOS have got to be tested a lot before they can be released to the public this is why Apple has got a group of developers to make sure that they can test the IOS before the public gets their hands on it. This is just an extra measure of security so that when Apple does release an update it is as secure as possible and there are not a lot of bugs to the program.

This latest update is for health care workers and for people who are wearing a mask and using Face ID to unlock their phones. Before this update, they would have to find a way to enter there passcode and now they do not have to go through this route as the Face ID will be able to detect if you are wearing a mask and then just show you the passcode for you to enter it. I have always wondered how this would work if you were wearing a mask and now we have some answers. 

I will be testing the Face unlock on my phone to see how secure it is compared to Apples as something to pass my time and I will be sure to post my review to this page. Apple has always had a very secure face unlock compared to a lot of other phones which is a great feature of Apple's phones. I really think this new update is something that has been missing for a long time for health care professionals as their job is wearing a mask so if Apple has found a way that they are able to keep there mask on then this is a huge step forward. 

 There are always a lot of changes happening in the technology world and I always look forward to what the next step is in security. Apple has really been uping there security for the past few months compared to other phone companies. Thank for taking the time to read this article and as always from me...

UFOs ARE Real

UFOs have just been confirmed to be real by the government and nobody seems to be that bothered by it now I am not sure if that's because it gets buried by the coronavirus news or people have known for a while. 

There have always been rumors that UFOs exist but now it has been confirmed with footage that has been leaked by the Pentagon that they are real and it is not just made up. I would have thought that when the day comes that the government released footage of UFOs and possible aliens then everyone would start to freak out but I think with everyone being so scared about the coronavirus nobody is that bothered about possible alien life.

I know a lot of people have thought for a long time that aliens exist and no we actually have proof. My thought about this that I always share is that we are just one small dot in an ever-expanding universe the chance that we are the only life form is slim there has got to be more planets out there in the universe that support some life form. I hope that we take this opportunity to openly talk about UFOs and alien life forms as it is a topic that has always been touchy to talk about but now I think we can freely talk about it.

This should be a great opportunity to possibly learn more about other life forms and maybe we can adapt some of there technology that they use and we take this opportunity not for war but for the possibility to learn about the power that we do not understand and the possibility of faster space travel. I wonder if this has got anything to do with Elon musks space train or the extra satellites that he has sent up to space. There is a lot that we do not understand about space and maybe in the next few years, we will learn a lot more and uncover a lot more mysteries about space. 

Thank you for taking the time to read this article and leave your UFO stories in the comments below. As always from me...

Day 37 Of Lockdown

Today was not a bad day nor was it a very good day. I spent most of the day just browsing the internet and playing a few games and just watching youtube and stuff like that. 

It was not a very hard day today and I did manage to get a lot of page views as well which was a huge bonus, I would like to figure out how I can make money from my blog page so if you have got any idea's it would be great if you left them in the comments. The main thing that I miss from not being in lockdown to being in lockdown is not being able to spend time with my girlfriend or people that I love.

Tomorrow will probably be just an okay day again nothing special really happening and obviously, because of the lockdown, I have not been able to make any plans with anyone at all. Something good to look forward to is that I have got work again on Friday which always brings a nice end to a week. I have always liked my job so I have never really classed it as work sometimes it can become challenging like if they shut all the pubs down but we have managed to find a way around that and a way that also earns me some money as well and no one can so no to some extra money on the side.

I do need to buy a new chair soon though for my computer as right now I am just sat on like an office chair which was okay at first but I have grown a bit since I bought it and now I think I am starting to outgrow my chair. I don't mean that I do not fit on the chair anymore I mean that the chair is starting t snap it is only made from a thin piece of wood and everytime I sit on it I think it snaps a bit more. One day I will come to sit down and I will just fall right through my chair, as of right now I can still sit on the chair but sometimes I do slide off. I think that might be why I have not been coming to my computer as much and have been spending more time in bed.

Thank you for taking the time to read my blog post about my day in lockdown. I hope that you are all coping well with this lockdown and as always from me...

Facebook Deleting Post On Stay-At-Home Protests

If you have been following my page for a while then you will see previous posts about rumors that Facebook is banning anything that goes against the lockdown rules and now we have some action from Facebook.

They have banned and removed events that were set up for a protest in Michigan. Protest have been appearing every but mostly in America as they have been on full lockdown for a while but not nearly as long as some of the other countries. I do not understand why America has got to be different and protest against the lockdowns as they have been put in place to prevent people from losing lives but people just won't listen.

Facebook is trying to help America by stopping any protest from being organized on their site. There were rumors before of Facebook doing this but now they have actually started to but some action behind there words and have started removing posts and banning people from creating events like this and if people find a way around this then Facebook has removed events that have got anything to do with this protest. 

I think this is a good idea as then it will stop people from finding out about these meetings and then it stops people from having a reason to leave there house or anything like that. If less people find out about these events then less and fewer people will be going to them so then fewer people will be exposed to other people who might potentially have the virus. I hope that we see this plan being implemented across all of the other forms of social media so that these protests eventually just die out.  

Please all of you reading this stay home and stay safe so that we can protect our loved ones and eventually see an end to this lockdown. I hope you are all well and as always from me...

Pandemics Will Become Worse & More Frequent Unless We Stop Exploiting The Earth

This most recent pandemic is one of the worse that we have had for a long time and some of the top scientists have said that unless we stop exploiting the earth and animals on it these pandemics will become worse and more often. 

The coronavirus pandemic was supposedly caused as someone decided that they wanted to eat a bat that had a disease that then caused this virus to spread into humans. If that one person did not eat that one bat then we could have avoided this whole lockdown and we could all be out enjoying life instead of being stuck in this quarantine. 

If we do not have more rules on what we can and can not eat then these pandemics will just worse and worse over time and if we keep taking advantage of this planet then these pandemics will mutate and become a lot more deadly. There will be something that wipes out the entire human race and then a new race of human type creatures will appear. With all of the pollution that is on this planet and how much pollution we are putting back into this planet then it does not surprise me that something like this has happened. 

Us as humans are not ready for something like this to happen we are not prepared and by that, I do not mean that our hospitals are not prepared I mean our own defensive systems are not ready for it. Yes, we have got our immune system but that is not ready to fight off such a deadly disease and if something a lot more dangerous comes around I fear that we will not be ready for it and it will wipe out the entire human race at once. That rate of infection on this disease is fairly slow and easily maintainable but if something comes out that has got a much higher rate of infection then, in my opinion, we are all screwed. 

Obviously, I do not see something like this happening anytime soon as I think after this pandemic is over we will look into making something better for humans and we will definitely be more focused on pollution and how we can prevent something like this from happening in the future. I hope that we are all safe during this pandemic and are all making sensible decisions about staying at home and staying safe. As always from me...

Day 36 Of Lockdown

Today has been a good day I have got lots of work done on the blog page but I have been placed in twitter jail for promoting this page a bit too much either that or twitter just does not like the truth being spoken.

Since being in lockdown my diet has really gone down the drain I did have a good diet before this focusing on protein and trying to get as many calories as possible in as I was focusing a lot of my time in the gym before this lockdown started. Now my diet contains crisps and ham sandwiches basically, I think it is just the lack of effort to go downstairs and actually prepare a proper meal for my self. 

Tomorrow should be a better day I plan on going walking and just spending some time outdoors even if it is raining as I want to get some fresh air after being cooped up in the house for the past 3 days. It should also be a good day as I have been sorting things out with this girl that I am talking to so hopefully we might end up in a relationship soon. I will make sure that I let you all know if that happens.

I think life for me is starting to look up I have sort of got my love life on track I just need to get my finances in order well by that I mean find a way to earn a bit more money through this lockdown. I have got a job but it is not high paying but it is helping me buy food and order stuff online which is helping me through the lockdown. I think before I was too focused on the future and not just living my life in the moment. 

I hope that you are all enjoying your lockdown as best as you can and don't worry I am sure that we will all see our loved ones again very soon. Thank you for taking the time to read my update through lockdown as always from me...

Drones For Delivery

There were talks about using drones for delivery a long time ago when drones first came out but it has now been put interaction by CVS and UPS in Florida as a help to stop human interaction in these uncertain times.

This is a huge advancement in technology as they are finally using drones for something good. Before these drones were mainly used for photography and pleasure usage but now they can be used for something useful so that people can finally get packages without having to face a human who might have got this virus or not. What would you think about a drone delivering a parcel for you?

Delivery drivers might be put out of a job because of this but you have got to think of it for every drone that is in the air there has got to be someone controlling it so for all of the people that might lose out on a job because of this I am sure that they will be able to find work flying the drone. There are some problems with using drones to deliver a parcel because this might cause a lot of problems with air traffic. If you think it is busy on the roads right now imagine that but in the sky and then imagine being a pilot and not being able to land because someone wants a package near an airport.

It is a good idea if only some places do it and it is a really good idea right now due to everything going on there will be a lot of rules on drones that are coming soon so make sure that you read them so if you have got a drone then you will know when you can use it and how to use it. Drones are a good idea the concept of basically a small helicopter being able to just drop something off at your door is incredible. Huge props to CVS and UPS for starting this trend let's see how many more companies follow in these footsteps and do this. 

Let me know your thoughts on using drones for delivery and as always from me...

The Rise Of Surveillance Through COVID-19

Fear has driven us to not leave the house at all throughout this lockdown. The Fear that if we go outside then we are going to get this virus even if we wear all of the safety equipment. 

Due to the recent outbreak, the amount of surveillance has definitely increased and it has gone unnoticed as we are all more concerned about the fear surrounding the coronavirus. There are definitely a lot more police presents on the road throughout this epidemic maybe to make sure that we are all okay but maybe it is so that we would see them driving around and be too scared to go outside. I am not saying that there are loads of CCTV cameras being installed always watching you as there are already a lot of CCTV cameras that have been installed but the ones that have been installed will definitely be monitored more to see who is outside the house doing what. 

We do not know exactly how dangerous this virus is like all of the information has been covered up and the government only tells the media what they want the general public to know. There have been talks about the development of a new app that tracks people who have had coronavirus or people who have been showing symptoms being brought out by google and apple. This suggestion leaves me questioning what information have they already got on us.

Most phone companies will keep records of phone usage and the location of the phone for if you ever lose it but these records could be seen by the government so they would know where you have been or how long you have been out of the house. This type of data gathering is called surveillance as they have gathered intel to where you have been. This is also another tactic to bring fear into our lives to scare us into staying at home. 

I do not agree with any of this we should want to stay at home to save lives and protect our loved ones, not because of the fear of what might happen if we do leave our houses. But, if this is the only way that we all stay in our homes then it must work so then this lockdown will end sooner as we will all be staying in our houses bring the rate of infection down. 

Make sure that you are paying attention to what apps have got access to your GPS and location services so that you can stay protected online and make sure that you are paying attention to the types of surveillance that are around you. Watch to see what the CCTV cameras are being installed in your area and make sure that you pay close attention to if your GPS is turned on and to see what apps have got access to this.

Day 35 Of Lockdown

After taking some time off from the blog page I am finally getting back into the swing of things, I didn't do much today just laid in bed for most of the day just waiting for the lockdown to end.

Today was very much a meh kind of day not doing much just lounging about all day, I was thinking about going on a walk but I really couldn't be bothered to move so I just picked up my weights and started doing just a little work out to remember what it was like to go to the gym. This lockdown has really shown me the people who I have got there for me and the people who really do not care. I have had lots of lovely messages asking how my lockdown is going and then I have had no messages from people who I thought would be the first person to ask how it is going.

This lockdown is hard for everyone, the way I am coping with it is just relaxing and basically watching as the hours go by. I am trying to get into a routine so I can have some structure to my life but that is just not going to plan at all. This blog page is really the only thing I have got to work on so I think tomorrow if I do not go outside I will probably just try and make some more posts on this page.

I know I have not been that active on this page but I think that is all going to change soon as I want to be posting a lot more it is just hard to find the motivation to do so. My computer is really close to my bed all of the time it is just taking those few steps to get there that is really putting me off but as soon as I am at my computer I start to make posts and when I am not at my computer I am thinking about what posts I can make.

Tomorrow should be a better day although I am still missing everyone it is getting easier to deal with it as I know as soon as this is all over I will be able to see them again soon. I have been going through this lockdown alone I have had my mum with me some days as we share a house together but apart from that, I have not had anyone. My significant other has had to stay with her family and it is getting hard for us both not being together. Part of me just wants her to come and sleep at mine for a few nights so we can both see each other again. Thank you for taking the time to read my daily post and I hope that you are coping well with this lockdown. As always from me...

NEW Iphone SE Fastest Budget Iphone To Date

Apple has been working on a new flagship iPhone called the iPhone SE and it has got one of apples fastest chips in it which outperforms some of the other flagship phones on the market at a fraction of the price. 

One of Apple's biggest flaws, in my opinion, was the price tag surrounding new phones that they release and the fact that they cost an arm and a leg if you want them as soon as they have been released. Now Apple has released a new budget iPhone with the same if not more powerful insides than there previous phones. This new iPhone is not going to make you need a new mortgage to be able to afford it as it is only $399 which is a steal.

The big selling point of this phone is not just the price but it is the new A13 chip inside the phone that is the fastest CPU and GPU on any phones that are available on the market right now. They have said that not only is it the fastest chip but it is also the best chip to use for day to day usage of a phone, whether that is making a billion phone calls a day or playing games on the phone. Yes, that is right you can play games on the new budget iPhone.

Usually, when a cheap version of a phone comes out they have got to compromise with something else on the phone and the compromise that Apple had to make with this phone is removing some of the cameras which I think is a fair trade to have a new fast phone. This new iPhone is outperforming some of the most expensive flagship phones such as the new one plus 8 and the new s20 from Samsung.

Iphones seem to be dominating the smartphone market recently and this new iPhone puts them miles in front of all of the other phones on the market. It does leave the question of what Samsung and Google will do to outperform this new iPhone. I hope they manage to produce something that they have been working on for a while in secret and it just destroys this new iPhone.

Hopefully, Apple has thought about the battery power that this new chip will need so that this new iPhone does not have to be on charge all the time like some other Iphones that I know of. With Apple also slowing down older phones I am sure that this new phone will feel a lot faster than previous phones not just because of the new chip but because Apple will have slowed down all of the previous iPhones so much that they will have to buy this new phone. I wonder if there will be some problems with this new phone as there usually is with new technology that gets released.  

I am looking forward to the advancements that are going to be made to the smartphone markets as this is a footstep into a new era of superfast pocket computers. Maybe, with the new phones and the new tablets, this will make laptops obsolete as we have the same power of a laptop in our pockets. Thank you for taking the time to read this and as always from me...

Day 34 Of Lockdown

Today was an okay day I took a well needed day off from everything and just laid in bed doing nothing but sleeping and watching Netflix.

I did try to on a walk today but it got rained off and by that I mean I started to go on a walk and then I felt a bit of rain and then decided that it would be a good idea to turn back around before it absolutely chucked it down. I think this lockdown is about to get really tough for everyone because they are not going to be able to go on long walks as the weather is about to take a turn for the worst. 

Tomorrow should be a bit better of a day as long as I can find some motivation to get out of bed and sit at my computer for a bit and try and make some more good blog posts. Thank you all for reading my blogs and joining me through this journey of lockdown. I know this has been hard and it is not over yet but the death rates are going down so hopefully, we will be out of this lockdown sooner than I thought.

I know a lot of people are going against the lockdown rules in America and places like that but I do not see England doing that anytime soon as let's face it we are known as a country who started queueing for things. I am sure that it will get a point where we say enough is enough and we all just leave our houses to go and see our loved ones but hopefully, the government lifts the lockdown before any of that happens.

I plan on making a few blog posts tomorrow if I can find the energy for it so make sure you tune in for them. Thank you all for reading my blog so far I can not believe how much we have grown these past few days lets all continue this growth and see how far we can make it. As always from me...

Day 33 Of Lockdown

Yesterday was the 33rd day and it was one of the best days I have yet to have throughout this lockdown. I managed to achieve one of the goals that I had for this page and I went for a walk.

Today I think I am going to take it a bit easier and just relax a bit more than I did yesterday and probably catch up on some Netflix or some youtube watching and just enjoy myself. I did go for a walk yesterday but I made sure that I did not go too far as I have still got blisters on my feet but the weather was lovely and I found a puddle with the clearest water I have ever seen.

This lockdown is getting easier as each day goes by I can not wait for the day that they lift the regulations and we are allowed to see our loved ones again. I would much rather have this lockdown last a few more weeks though rather than relaxing the regulations and having a new wave of the virus come through causing us to have a longer much tougher lockdown. 

I hope you are all coping with this lockdown and as always from me...

Nintendo Hack Attack Exposes 160,000 Accounts

So the latest big company to come under fire for a hack attack is Nintendo and the hackers have got access to over 160,000 accounts, they sneaked into these accounts just in time for the animal crossing to come out.

Nintendo has made sure that all accounts that have been affected have been forcefully reset so that the user has got to enter a new password and make sure that there account is secure again. They have said that you will be notified by email if your account has been compromised so make sure that you are checking your emails to see if you have received anything from Nintendo.   

Login IDs, dates of birth, and passwords have been exposed because of this hack and if you use PayPal or other banking apps then these might have been compromised as well. This is really good timing as hackers would have known about the release of animal crossing which they could use to gain access to the accounts or some other method. Lots of Nintendo's customers would have bought animal crossing as it is a popular game and they will have spent money in the game to progress which means if your account was compromised then the hackers might also have access to the banking services that you use. 

A positive thing that has come out of this is that as soon as it happens Nintendo began to work on its security by resetting the account passwords forcefully to remove and unauthorized sign attempts and they have stated that they are working on new types of security to prevent this from happening in the future. This new type of security will not be sharing with the public so that they can ensure that their platform is as secure as possible.

If you are using Nintendo services then make sure that you reset your password even if you have not been notified by Nintendo so that you can make sure that your account is secure as possible. You might want to think about changing the password to your banking service that you use or PayPal so that you can make sure that those accounts are still secure. Thank you for taking the time to read this article and as always make sure you are keeping safe online and offline. As always from me...

50% Of Twitter Account Talking About Coronavirus Could Be Bots

Coronavirus has unironically become one of the most talked-about thing on the internet for the past few weeks but how many real people are talking about it.

If you have been reading my blog for a while now then you will have seen the post about how the 5G theory was fueled by bots spamming this fake news around the web and it left me questioning how many real people are actually talking about this virus and how many posts are bots. Nearly 50% of posts on twitter that is talking about or has mentioned coronavirus are actually bot accounts used to spread either real or fake news so that more people will see it. 

This is not a good thing as bots should not be used to spread fake news around they should be used to automate a process like turning the heating on when it is cold in your home. I think it is about time twitter did some checking on accounts that mention coronavirus so that it can help to stop the spread of fake news. But how do these bots spread the fake news so quickly, well I am glad you asked...

These bots are always crawling through twitter to find relevant posts that mention coronavirus and then they just retweet them so that everyone who follows the account will be able to see the fake news. Twitter could find a way to use this to spread the real news like updates on the lockdown and other relevant important news. These bots are really hard to find as if they are set up properly then they should look like real accounts so that they do not get detected by twitter but you will be able to find them as the only thing they talk about is coronavirus and nothing else. 

Hopefully, Twitter will be able to put an end to some of these fake accounts weather the block them or remove them for the near future or at least put a warning on them like this is a bot. Social media platforms will always be filled with fake accounts as it is a massive network for people to share and connect so people are obviously going to find a way around this to spread fake news. The fact that nearly 50% of the accounts that are talking about coronavirus could be bots is just appalling and I think twitter really needs to do something about this to help stop the spread of the fake news so that people do not get mislead on what is real and what is garbage. 

Thank you for taking the time to read my blog post and I hope that it took a few minutes out of your day to distract you from all of the awful things that are happening in the world. As always from me...

Day 32 Of Lockdown

Well, there goes another day over with and not many more to go hopefully, I haven't done much today just been in bed for most of the day and then went to work. 

It has been getting easier to deal with this lockdown as I am just dealing with it one day at a time now instead of thinking about all of those days ahead. This is a much better mindset to be in because if you can make it through today then you have got tomorrow to look forward and it doesn't matter if you just lounge about all day if that is what you feel comfortable doing then do it. 

I am thinking of trying to grow my page views every day trying to beat the number of page views my blog gets each day. This is so that you guys will get to see a lot more content from me. This blog page has really helped me to take my mind off the lockdown as it has given me something to do and something else to think about, kind of like a huge distraction that has actually turned out to be fun. 

When I first started this blog page I thought it would maybe reach like 10 people a day but I have managed to reach a lot more which is a huge bonus. I am starting to feel better about myself after having a few down days, I thought what is the point of dwelling in self-pity when I can be getting out of bed and going on my computer and making changes happen.

Tomorrow I think I might go for a walk but only a small walk just to get me out of the house for a bit and in some lovely sunshine. I say that I will not be walking far but I know what I am like I will say that and then walk for like 6 miles or something like that.
Stay tuned for more blog posts and watch how much this page grows over the next few weeks. As always from me...

How Do I Find Idea To Blog About

When you are starting a blog you will probably run into the problem of what to post but hopefully, this post will help you to come up with some ideas for what to blog about.

Usually, I will just be laid in bed an idea will come to me but if that does not happen then I spend hours and hours I a day searching online for interesting topics that give me a spark to write about them. If you have been reading my blog for a while now then you will know that most of my posts are about technology and that is because it is a topic that I find very interesting to me.  

The best thing to do when you get to writer's block is to just take a step back and relax usually when you get writer's block it is because you are putting too much stress on yourself without you even knowing it. You might say to yourself that you want to get so many words done in a short amount of time but do not limit yourself to a time frame. If you get stuck just take a step back and do something else for a while those words will just come to you naturally then.

Make sure that you are not putting too much pressure on yourself to get the work done, the work will still be there for you when you have taken a break so there is no need to tell yourself to stop procreating and just do it. You can relax for an hour and the work will still be there for you, you do not have to do all of the work in one day give yourself a break and then come back to it. 

If you take a break and come back to it with a new mindset that will help the words just flow through your fingers and into the paper or word document that you are working on. This is what I do, as soon as I make a post I will take a break for a bit before searching for a new topic to blog about. Thank you for taking the time to read this little article and as always from me...

Google Requires Identification For Advertisers

Google is always trying to put an end to spam and their latest attempt is to make it so that advertisers have got to confirm their identity by sending in some sort of identification. 

This is a good idea as it means that someone can not send out loads of adverts and that they can monitor who is posting adverts, this will still kind of stop spam but I do not think it will work. The reason why I do not think it will work is that 1 person can still put out a lot of adverts, requiring someone to confirm their identity does not stop them from spamming it just puts a face to the name.

This requirement to confirm your identity will only stop the robots but I am sure it will not be long before someone is selling accounts of verified people so that people can still set up their bots to these accounts and still spam adverts. I have seen some very not safe for work adverts recently on youtube and it just leaves the question for who is responsible, with this verification they will be able to see who is posting adverts.

Google will have to make sure that they are keeping these identities of the advertisers secure otherwise if they get leaked it is like someone having your driving license. If these verified identification accounts get leaked then this would be another massive security floor in google again. Usually, accounts are secure but if one account gets leaked then hackers could have access to millions of people's identity, and then a countless number of identity fraud could happen which would all be a result of google. 

There could be a lot of problems around this especially with the data protection acts as google will have to keep track of all of these secure accounts and you have got to question where is your verification going. Will google be keeping it safe and secure in one of its online vaults or will they just sell this data to some Russians to make a lot of money at the expense of its users.

What do you guys think is this a good idea to stop spam or will this just increase a lot of security problems for google and would you trust a big company not to sell your identification to make some money. As always from me...

COVID-19 Vaccines Being Tested In UK

Over the past few days, I have seen different reports on a vaccine being tested for human trials for the COVID-19 in the UK more specifically in Oxford in the UK but is this a good idea. 

Obviously, a vaccine for the coronavirus would be brilliant it would but an end to the lockdowns and it would prevent it from becoming an outbreak again and people would be immune to it which is a good thing. The human trials for such a vaccine have been tested in Oxford in the UK so we will soon find out if it works. I hope this does work but I do not think it will and I will be going into why I do not think it will work now...

Usually, a vaccine will cure one strand of disease and as we know right now there are at least 2 different strains of coronavirus that a human can be infected with, so what will this vaccine be a cure for the first not so deadly strand or the second much more deadly and infectious strand. We do not even know what the side effects of this vaccine will be, just take a look at that SARS vaccine that had very serious side effects that we did not know about until the next generation of babies where born.

A Vaccine of this scale should take about 8 months so why has it been possible to make this vaccine in less than a month unless there is something that they are not telling us about this disease and it is not as serious as we thought. If this vaccine does work then it will be great and we will just have to gamble with what the side effects will be for the future. I am guessing that they are going of the mindset it doesn't matter about the side effects because it won't affect us right now. 

Hopefully, this vaccine does work and it does cure the coronavirus without any serious side effects and then we can all get back to a somewhat normal lifestyle after we have had the vaccine. If this vaccine does work it does leave the question to who will get it first, will they give it to the most important people first like queens and presidents then other people with very high social status and just leave the lower working class to suffer for longer until they can mass produce the vaccine.  Will they do it with people born on a specific date and what does this mean for us in isolation will they bring the vaccine to us or will we have to go out and mix with a lot of other people who have had the virus. 

This vaccine does leave a lot of questions yet to be answered and much like everything else that has had happened with the COVID-19 outbreak the only thing we can do is wait and keep staying inside and staying safe. As always from me...

Day 31 Of Lockdown

Today marked the 31st day of being in lockdown and I guess you would say that it has been a month of being in lockdown it has been hard but I think we will soon be in the final stretch of the lockdown.

I went on an 8-mile walk today just as something to do but now I have got a blister on the bottom of my foot which kinda hurts a bit but I do not plan on walking tomorrow as I have got work again that I need to make sure that I am awake for. It has been very difficult trying to change the way we live our lives through this lockdown and I think that this virus will have a very big impact on everyday life from now on. I hope that whatever this virus changes that the change is good and it makes us all better people at the end of it.

Life has got harder and yes it has been very challenging for our mental health to keep going but I just want to say that it is okay to be sad we all have our down days but things will get better. Life will never be the same again after this virus but we will learn to adapt to it and overcome it so that it will eventually feel normal for us again. I have set some new goals and aspirations for this blog page which you should all start being put into place very soon. 

Tomorrow I am going to try and get the most amount of views that I have ever got on this page which will be a nice goal for me if I manage to reach it. Today, all I did was go on that long walk and then had a massive nap which was nice, and then I called/ Facetimed one of my friends who I hope will soon be my girlfriend once this lockdown is over and we are able to see each other again. 

The longer that we ignore the rules that the government has put in place then the longer this lockdown is going to last. If we do not follow the rules now then we will not be able to get through this and the lockdown will get harder with a lot more rules put into place. I just ask that you think before you go out to think are you protected are you protecting others and is this trip really necessary. I hope you are all getting through this and as always from me...

YouTube bans 'medically unsubstantiated' content

Youtube has joined Facebook in banning content now as well. Youtube has banned anything that is not medically correct with anything to do with the coronavirus. 

This is a good idea as it will help the spread of the misinformation that is a surrounding coronavirus so that when people are searching for topics that are related to this virus then they will not be brought to anything that is not factually correct. Youtube is a very big online video streaming platform so even if there was just 1 video on there that was not correct millions of people would be able to view it.

Since this virus has started there have been a lot more searches for articles that are have got some authority this means articles or videos that are posted by sites that end with .gov or sites that are from proven sources from other trusted articles. There is a lot of speculation and false reports of cures that they are trying to avoid so that people do not think that they are cured. 

Youtube is trying to put a stop to the misinformation and is trying to put a stop to the rumors as well. I am not sure if banning it is the correct way to go because someone might be talking about the effects that this virus has had on them and then their video will get taken down which is not fair to good content creators that are using youtube as there main source of income. It is a good idea if they manage to pull through and do it correctly, maybe flag a video that talks about coronavirus and then make sure that if the person is talking about coronavirus then they have got links to official articles in the description of the video so people can check the facts. 

I can see this being a problem if they decide to ban anything that mentions coronavirus because this would fall over the content censorship again much like Facebook, it is like the freedom speech online and if they are banning anything that talks about coronavirus then they are essentially stopping the freedom of speech online. Hopefully, they manage to maintain this well and if they do go through and ban anything that mentions the coronavirus then they make sure that they do it properly so that no one is missing out of a source of income. 

Thank you for taking the time to read this and as always from me...

30 Days Of Lockdown

Well today has marked the 30th day of being in lockdown and what a journey it has been so far, there have been a lot of ups and downs but now hopefully things will start to be looking up.

It has been a tuff 30 days fro everyone who has been in lockdown and hopefully there won't be many more days of lockdown left. I think we find out more information about the lockdown after 2 weeks from today, who knows what they are going to say probably that we have been doing well and we have got to make sure we just keep doing what we are doing in order to eventually beat this thing.

This lockdown has been hard on everyone even though we have still been able to stay connected through social media it has still been hard especially if you are living on your own. Today, was a very good day for me, my parcel finally came which was a good start to the day and then I went on a bike ride in order to get some exercise so it was overall a very good day. 

I don't want this lockdown to last much longer as it is getting hard missing my friends and family but it is what it is and there is nothing we can do right now to change things apart from staying at home to stay safe. Hopefully, soon we can flatten the curve so that we are able to leave the lockdown like they have in Wuhan. I don't think I have got a lot planned for tomorrow so I will probably make a few blog posts maybe try and promote it a bit more. I say this but I know full well I will probably just spend most of the day in bed.

The Truth About Coroanvirus

There is a lot of speculation surrounding the coronavirus and obviously, everyone is entitled to there own opinion around it but when you start spreading rumors and false information then it becomes a problem.

The truth about coronavirus is that we don't actually know the truth about it, now don't stop reading because of that this is about to get interesting. There is a lot of reports that Coronavirus is linked to 5G but obviously, that is just fake news produce by fear mongs that have got nothing better to do other than to scare people into thinking that new technology will kill us all.  but it won't. We do not know if the coronavirus is man-made or it is a disease that just happened to come about because of the bat or was it man-made in a lab by accident but we do know there is a threat out there that we can not see.

Some people think that the coronavirus was man-made as a bioweapon to cause harm to a lot of people or it was an accident that was made in las an agent that was supposed to control people but then it had some very bad side effects. Until we really know the full effects of the virus and where it started then we can not be protected and we can not be prepared for what is to come.

When I was out on a bike ride today I actually saw a military helicopter flying across and I do not think that it was to support the NHS and it made me wonder what is the government not telling us about this virus. Should we be a lot more scared than we already are? There are a lot of unanswered questions that we have got due to this virus I just hope that we all make it out alive once this is all over.

Thank you for reading as always from me...

Jitsi Offering More Security Over Zoom & Google

With everyone being in lockdown there has been a ride in a lot of online activity. This is everything from video calling for work and just a lot of online streaming that has put a strain on the internet.

Throughout this lockdown, security has been a major issue online as hackers have got a lot of free time as well so they have got a lot of time to put into hacking your online webcam and everything like that. There were some issues raised about the security of some of these online tools that we are using to create a classroom-like environment for pupils and teachers and friends to all connect with each other. One of the biggest news stories was the fact that a lot of people where using zoom and that it is not secure so a lot of webcams and online profiles were at risk of being targeted by hackers. Obviously, no one is going to use a program if it is not secure and this is where a business has got to think how secure is my program so that people will choose to use it over other sites.

A lot of these sites like google clam to be very secure and the majority of the time this is true as they are big companies so they have got to make sure that whatever they are working on is secure and that they will want to sell a product to customers that are secure so that they do not get any bad publicity around thier program. There are a lot of online video calling sites that you can use that have been proven to be secure such as discord and google classrooms but there is also another program that has just been released that is called Jitsi. This website claims to be the most secure website offering different types of encryption that its competitors do not have. 

Jitsi is offering end to end encryption which means that no one can access it unless you are both parts of the call already. This is huge as it makes it one of the most secure sites to use. That is if course it is actually using end to end encryption and it is not just a false claim to be a selling point. There is one other website that I know offers end to end encryption and that is WhatsApp. If you are going to be using video calling online then I would recommend that you take 5 minutes into looking into the most secure video calling software that you can use and make sure that if you are going to be using it then it is secure so you are going to be avoiding a lot of problems that way. If what Jitsi is saying is true and that they do offer end to end encryption then I would recommend that you use this site for online video calling as it will be the most secure. Yes, that does mean that it will be more secure than sites like google as they do not offer end to end encryption. 

Thank you for taking the time to read this article and make sure you are staying safe online. As always from me...

Day 29 Of Lockdown

Good morning, yesterday was a good day even though I am still tuck in lockdown, I went for a nice long walk to a reservoir near me and then came home and just chilled and had a really good nights sleep.

I was very very tired after coming back from that walk but I still stayed up to make sure that I could phone one of my friends before I went to sleep. Once, I have finished making this blog update I will probably go back to sleep as well as I am still tired but I wanted to update you guys on what is going on. Today is going to be a boring day as I have got to wait in for my parcel again as this is going to be the last day that it is meant to be arriving and it is really annoying the fact that it has not come any sooner. 

Yesterday, was also a good day for me as one of the articles that I had written had been picked up and published on someone else's website so that was a really good feeling. I am still trying to figure out a way that I can get paid for these blog posts as I want to make this a full-time thing but so far I have had no luck with it. I will be working on this throughout the day today as I am waiting for my package, I might go on another walk again today if I can be bothered and if there is no sign of my parcel coming. I am feeling rather good about myself and mood has definitely improved since the other day when I was feeling rather down and I think that I am going to make it through the rest of this lockdown. 

Thank you all for taking the time to read my daily updates it means a lot to me and as always from me...

Facebook To Ban Protests Defying Government Rules

Facebook has decided to ban anything the has got to do with anti-lockdown protests has many of the protests start on Facebook and are organized on Facebook as well. 

Now, this is a good idea as the fewer protests that get organized then the less people that will be outside which is a good thing as they will be saving lives but even if they manage to stop the protests being organized on Facebook that doesn't mean that they have stopped the protests. These protests will still continue they just won't be using Facebook as the site to organise them on, they will just move to all of the other social media platforms and create group chats and stuff like that to organise them. 

Unless the whole company of Facebook decides to ban any account that is linked to the anti-lockdown protest then this might stop them as Facebook owns a lot of other social media platforms as well as WhatsApp and messenger. There are a lot of accounts that are linked to Facebook so unless Facebook decides to remove all the accounts that are linked to these protests then they will just continue to grow and grow even more. I am not sure if Facebook has got the authority to do this unless the government of these countries enforces it.

There is a lot of problems that will surround this if Facebook decides to go through with this such as the media censorship rules and lots of other things as well as I am a firm believer in that nothing should be censored completely there should just be warnings on each post saying what it might contain. This obviously does not mean that I approve of everything that is posted online just some specific things that are currently being censored shouldn't be. I know media censorship online is not that big of a deal in some countries such as the UK as we basically find a way to get around everything but in some places like china things get censored as lots of propaganda can be shared online. I guess this fits into the anti-lockdown protests as that could be classed as propaganda as well. 

I hope no one reading this is thinking about joining the anti-lockdown protest as you are just making it longer for the rest of us and if I am honest it is just stupid. Thank you for taking the time to read this small article and as always from me...

Day 28 Of Lockdown

Well there goes another day of this lockdown that we have been forced to be in and I am starting to lose track of the days as they go by, I can not remember the last time I actually saw my loved ones.

All I did today was wait inside hoping that my package would have arrived by today but still, no luck yet, where oh where is my package and when is it going to get to me. I have been waiting over a week for this package now and that is taking the mick a bit. I understand that it might be delayed but this is just beyond a joke now, I have spent too many days waiting inside because I do not want to miss the parcel yet it is still not here. I have been informed that it was meant to come between the 16th- 18th of April and then it said it has been delayed because of everyone ordering everything online because of the lockdown so it was meant to come by the 19th-22nd and then if it is later than that I have been offered a refund but I do not want a refund I want my parcel. 

Tomorrow, I will probably spend most of the day just waiting for my parcel and trying to come up with some ideas dor some future blog posts. Today, was a good day I managed to resolve some arguments that I was having with a friend of mine and with the lack of sleep I have gotten today I am starting to feel a lot more like myself. I think I have just been sleeping too much for the past few days. Maybe, at some point, I will get the balance right and I will not be too tired and I will not have slept too much. 

Thank you all for joining me through this lockdown I know it is getting harder and harder for us but hopefully, it won't be too much longer. As always, from me...

Riots Against Coronavirus Lockdown

I have seen in a lot of places mostly America that they are rioting/ protesting against the lockdown that has been put on them to try and maintain the spread of the coronavirus in their country and I have got to say if you are rioting against it, stop and get inside.

To all of the people who are protesting against this lockdown, they are making the lockdown longer for themselves and making this virus become more global than it already is. It is just stupid to be protesting against it because it is put in place to save your life... would you protest against the hospital for saving your life no that's just stupid so why is it any different for what is going on now. If you are protesting against this lockdown then you have really got to take a look at yourself because what happens if 1 person in that protest has got the virus and infects you all.

You have really got to think about other people and not just your self, your hair cut can wait if it means that you will be saving the lives of all of the people around you. Just think if you skip a few haircuts now whilst you are in lockdown imagine what the outcome will be to your hair after the lockdown is over, but if you continue to protest this then you are making it harder and longer for the rest of us. Your actions of protesting this are making it longer for the rest of us, if you want to protest against this lockdown then make a post on Facebook from the safety of your own bed. 

The only thing that you will accomplish from this protest is a longer lockdown which is what you are protesting against in the first place. If you keep protesting against it then not only are you making it longer you are also going to make it harder and the government will put in place a lot harder rules than there is already and it might mean that the government sends troops into the streets to prevent people from gathering. So if I was you and I was thinking of protesting about this lockdown I would shut my mouth grow up and sulk on the sofa watching Netflix keeping everyone safe.

Please do not go outside and protest against this virus you are just making it longer for the rest of us. As always from me...

A Mass Surge In Surveillance In COVID-19

We all know that the government is secretly spying on us there is no doubt in that but I have seen a surge in the surveillance that has been going on due to the recent lockdowns as the spread of COVID-19 continues.

There are some companies that are using the work environment that they have created in order to spy on its employees and this can be anything from monitoring your webcam to see if you are at work or they have got some program that watches your keystrokes. I do not agree with any of this if the employer is asking you to work from home then they should trust you to do the work and not have to spy on you it is like having your boss watching over you whilst you are at work and you would not agree to that in a normal work environment so why is it any different at home. 

By the term surveillance I do not mean that someone is at your door spying on you or peeping through your windows it is a term that can be used to describe data collection so the company or the government can use the data collection to see where you are at and if you are sticking to the lockdown rules. You might say that this is not legal with the new data protection act that came out last year but this is actually legal as if you are not sticking to the rules of the lockdown then it would be classed as a crime and then the government can see the data collected to potentially build a case against you. 

You might ask is this all necessary during this lockdown have we not got bigger fish to fry other than the government spying on us and you would not be wrong if you said that. Yes, we have got bigger fish to fry such as a cure for the epidemic but if we do not pay close attention to who has got our data and who is using our data even throughout an epidemic then we might lose track of it and then before you know it everyone knows where you are and where you have been. It is important that we do focus on protecting our data, especially throughout these times. If needs be to make sure you have got a VPN so that if there is someone spying on you then you can use this to spoof the location of where you are at. 

Make sure that you are safe online and always keep track of the websites that you are using to see if there data protocols have been compromised or to see if your data is being leaked online. Don't forget to stay safe online as well as inside your home. Thank you for taking the time to read this small article and as always from me...

Day 27 Of Lockdown

Well, yesterday marked another day of lockdown gone hopefully there won't be many more left all I did yesterday was worked out and went for a long walk and it kind of helped a bit but not that much.

Today, I am hoping that my package comes because it has been delayed for too long and it is doing my head because I hate waiting for things and it is a very important package that I needed a long time ago. I probably won't do a lot today as the weather looks to be a bit colder today so I can not go on a walk I will spend most of the day in bed again probably.

I am getting fed up of not having my freedom but I know it is for the better so I have got to put up with it for a bit longer so that this lockdown can be shorter as if we all fight through this ruff patch now then we can save a lot of lives and get through this and then get out of the lockdown and see our loved ones again. I am a very impatient person which is a very bad character flaw to have but it does mean that when I want something then I do not stop until I have got it. 

I hope you are all enjoying your days in and are not going too crazy, as always from me...

Exercise Can Not Fix Everything

Usually, whenever I feel down I will exercise and it will make me feel so much better but for the past few days I have tried doing that and it just hasn't worked, maybe it is time to accept the fact that this is how life is going to be.

I wish that things were different right now and I was able to go out and see my family and friends but it looks like that is not going to be happening for a while now. This lockdown has really started to take an effect on me today, I have tried to keep my mind occupied by going on a walk and just watching youtube stuff like that but for some reason no matter what I do today it isn't working.

When I do hit a low point usually I will go to the gym or something like that but I can not go to the gym as, well everything is closed. I thought that this lockdown would be easy it will only be for a short time I am sure it will be over soon but that is not the case. I am not sure what I have got to do to get myself out of this tough patch that I am in. Hopefully, it will not last much longer, maybe I need to work out more to push myself but if I do that I will be too tired to do anything else. It just feels like nothing is going my way currently I just don't know what to do. I will keep you all updated for how I am going if any of you guys are struggling as much as me right now feel free to drop a comment I will read them all and get back to you and give you some advice.

Using Technology To Combat COVID-19

With the world basically crumbling around us there is hope that our technological advancements to help us to combat COVID-19 and put an end to this virus and the lockdowns around the world.

So far technology has given us ventilators to help the people who have got coronavirus a chance to breathe and they have saved lots and lots of lives by doing so. Technology has also helped us trace who has got the virus and where they are going/ who else they are infecting with the use of GPS and a new app that is in development being brought in from google and apple to show who has got coronavirus symptoms in the area. 

Tech has also helped us to check who has got a temperature by using thermal imagining on citizens and they can check these through CCTV cameras for when you go out on that walk. There are lots of ways that China has implemented to help track the spread of the virus by being able to pinpoint your location to an exact train set and that is crazy if you think about it am not saying that we should all track our citizens to a pinpoint but we should all be tracking the travel that they are doing. 

Another way technology has helped us to fight this virus is by being able to send funding and support for the NHS and other health systems by being able to send money from our phones and has brought everyone int his country and many others together through the use of social media. Tech has also made it possible to order a full set of shopping from the comfort of your own bed which is amazing as it stops the need for having to go outside and shop which might make you interact with people. 

Obviously, there is a lot of human rights that surround the use of technology for tracking and that is why some ideas just get shut down immediately as they can not be implemented as they would just break human rights. The new data protection act also restricts some limitations of tracking with the use of technology as your location would be classed as your personal data. As always from me in these uncertain times...

Day 26 Of Lockdown

Yesterday was a very boring day all I did was stay in bed all day waiting for my package that still hasn't come yet, today I plan on going for a walk as the weather looks better for today.

I really hope that this lockdown does not go on for much longer as I am getting really fed up with seeing the same 4 walls. Since I have been going on walks now it has got a lot easier to manage my time but apart from working on the blog page and sleeping that is all I have been doing for most of the days during this lockdown. Part of me can not wait for this lockdown to be over but the other part of me is saying that life will never return back to normal and this is how it is going to be for the next few months and, to be honest, I don't think that I can cope with that.

I am starting to feel very unmotivated to do anything apart from just sleeping all day and that is not good because I have got a lot of things I could be going on with I just need to find the energy to do them and that is hard as I just do not have the energy to do them. I just want this to be over so that I can go out and see my loved ones again. Hopefully, this walk that I go on today will make me feel a bit better but I don't think it will. 

As always from me...

Good News For Germany

Throughout all of this coronavirus pandemic, there has been nothing but bad news and a lot of deaths, but finally, there is some good news for Germany as they are currently going on the right track to beat this thing.

The rate of people who have recovered from this virus has just past the number of people who are infected in Germany which is very good news. This means that all of there efforts that they have put into testing people have been worth it as they have just started there decline back into normal life. The amount of people who are recovering from this virus has passed the number of people who are infected, now I am not sure if this is because Germany is testing a lot more people over other countries but whatever they are doing over there it seems to be working. 

I think that we should implement whatever they are doing in Germany in some other countries as well because it seems to be working. I think some countries have taken a much more relaxed approach to this virus which is not right. As soon as there was the first death from this virus we should have gone into lockdown so that this virus would not spread. I know this lockdown sucks for everyone but it is the right thing to do as it will save a lot of lives. The more people that we test the more control we have got on the virus. I think we should start testing everyone to see if they have got the virus so that we can monitor their actions and maintain the spread of the virus. I hope that you are all staying safe and staying inside during this lockdown and as always from me...

Cancel Culture

There is one thing that I hate in this world and it is the cancel culture that we have all become normalized to. There is only one thing that we should cancel and that is cancel culture.

Cancel culture is when you stop supporting someone online when they have done something that is objectional or something that you might find offensive, this is based on your opinion of it so please learn the facts before you join in the cancel culture. 

Everyone that I have seen online has become normalized to this subject of cancel culture and feels like this is just not a big thing anymore but it is. Saying someone should be canceled is like walking into someone's office and saying that you should fire them for this reason and you just wouldn't do that so why is it okay for you to do it online. A lot of people will be using online to make some money and it might be there the only source of income so saying that they should be canceled is saying that they do not deserve income when they might have worked very hard to get to where they are now.

I am not saying that no one has ever done anything bad online but to cancel them completely is just so wrong, I am a firm believe in second chances but I know a lot of people will take advantage of that but if it was just one mistake and they have taken that mistake as a learning opportunity then I believe that they should have a second chance. Nobody deserves to be completely canceled, no matter how bad the thing is that they did wrong. I know a lot of people will say that if someone has made a mistake then they should get canceled but do not believe this, take some time into researching the thing that they have done wrong and then form your own opinion around something instead of just following what everyone else is saying. 

Please stop with the cancel culture it is not needed nor is it fair to anyone involved. As always from me...

I do NOT like to make to-do lists or even have them around my house and in this post, I am going to be telling you why To-Do List are such a bad idea and how you can avoid them. 

You may make a to-do list so you can keep track of all of the tasks that you have got to do throughout the day, this is a good idea if you have work or a job that requires you to do lots of tasks in one day but I do not like the fact that some people have implemented these in there home life. These lists can cause some people anxiety as they might have too much to do in one day and not enough time to do it in. This is one of the main reasons why I do not do them as if I make a list of everything that I have got to get done then I might not have enough time in the day to do them and then I will get mad at myself for not doing everything in one day.

I like to mentally make a not of things that I have got to do today and anything that I forget to do can not have been that important in the first place, if I remember that I have forgotten to do it then I will make sure it gets done as soon as possible. It is a lot easier t make a mental note of things that you have got to do because then you save the time that you could have wasted making a note of it. Sometime it might just be a little task that you might need to get done and you are just waiting for the motivation to get it done if that is the case just have a mental kick up the bum and go out and get it done. 

Let me know your thoughts on to do lists do you think they are necessary or do you think that you could probably remember tasks that you have got to do without having to write them down. As always from me
