On April 16, 2020 cbs news reported that more than 145,000 people have died worldwide of the COVID-19. The United States has the highest death toll. I am very scared by those numbers. I can not believe that the US has that much deaths. I would have never imagined that the US would have passed Europe and China with the death toll. 😔

As of Sunday May 3rd Broward county has 207 deaths. Miami Dade is the county in Florida with the most deaths reported.  Broward County is second in the state, its kind of scary that there are many deaths in the county I live in. I am actually kind of worried that the number will raise.

Everything is still the same… There is really not much to do and the days are passing by slow. I don’t know what day it is! Honestly that’s not really important,but what is important is that my family and I are all healthy. To keep busy my family and I have been taking daily walks. We have always taking walks ,but now everything feels different. There are still many people walking around the community. Honestly, today was a weird day because the death toll just keeps on raising and everything that is around me has to do with the coronavirus. I shouldn’t really focus on that because tomorrow is my birthday 🥳! I am very excited and kind of bummed that my birthday is in quarantine. It’s fine though because again everything happens for a reason and find a positive in every situation. My family says that they have lots of surprises planned. I have mixed feelings towards surprises. If I can speak to myself two weeks ago, I would tell myself to not worry as much. Two weeks ago I was very worried and overwhelmed. Now, I finally feel calm in a weird way. Obviously, there are still some things that are very weird. It’s weird that I can’t go out somewhere without wearing a mask or gloves. 😷 The more I think about the situation the more overwhelmed I get. Honestly, I am very grateful that tomorrow I’m going to turn 14. I am also grateful that all my family members are healthy. Luckily, I do not know anyone close to me that is sick from the coronavirus. I know it’s kind of silly that I am really craving some thing from Starbucks. I just really want a strawberry açai lemonade with an everything bagel 🥯. My mom and I have tried to make replicas of Starbucks drinks. To say the least some more successful somewhere not. I’ll keep you updated if we finally find the recipe for the perfect Starbucks drink at home. 🥤

At first when I heard about the coronavirus I wasn’t scared. I never thought that a virus that is in China can come all the way to America in such a short period of time. When it started to spread to Europe I started getting more concerned. When different states started reporting that there were coronavirus cases I got worried. Then cases agreed reaching Florida and the numbers just kept escalating. When school got changed to online school and social distancing was being done I felt overwhelmed. At first getting school canceled for two weeks and then doing online school felt like the dream. Obviously, I was not thinking correctly because there were many people that were getting affected by the virus. People lost their jobs, could not pay rent, or simply could not see their close family members. The government first announced that business and recreational areas like parks were going to be closed. Everyone should practice social distancing but was never really mandatory. Well in the state of Florida. In other countries like Argentina if you left your house for no reason the police would stop you and give you a fine. The club house at my neighborhood closed. All the basketball courts, tennis courts, and the gym was closed. The community implemented new rules like when you walk around the community you should keep a certain distance. To be honest not much people really listened to that order. My family actually responded pretty well to everything. At first, my dad was pretty overwhelmed. He was very paranoid and did not like the idea of leaving the house or ordering food. As time went on he started to calm down. I think he was so paranoid and stressed because of all the news he was watching. This is the begging of much more weeks. I just have to sit back and not stress my self out. I am a true believer that everything happed s for a reason and that we should see a positive in every situation.

Besides watching Tiger King I have been very productive and have found a new passion. That new passion is cooking and baking. I have made lots of different yummy desserts in the past weeks. I have made banana bread, brownie, and cake! I think you call me a professional. I have also been cooking breakfast for my family everyday. Not too brag but I make the best scrambled eggs ever! Just ask my family hahahaha.

I think baking has always been something I enjoyed. Now that I have time I can make and experiment with different recipes. I saw this video on TikTok that was a recipe on how to make dalgona coffee, which is basically the whipped coffee. It was kind of a fail it was not very tasty. After that I decided to look up new recipes and it started to expand.

So.... I am pretty sure you are caught up with everything that is happening. It’s nothing serious just there is a global pandemic going on. I am just kidding I know this is serious. There is really not much to do so the only options is to do school work or watch television to keep busy. One tv show that has been very popular is Tiger King. I am proud to say that I have binge watched the whole thing in two days. Another tv show I have been watching is All American.

Also as a source of entertainment I have been on TikTok for many hours. TikTok is a platform that people post short videos. There are many trends like dances or different baking ideas. Which maybe helped me find my new passion.

Days have passed and I think everything is coming to an end. The day that quarantine was set to be done is coming soon. I am not sure if everything will stay the same after the quarantine is over. Maybe, the government will add more weeks after the set date. Are people going to go out like nothing happened? Are people going to feel paranoid from going outside? Am I going to be scared from doing anything outside the four walls of my room ? The government so far only cares about the economy. President Trump has made some remarks that are not the smartest. Today was a good day! I did my normal routine like all the other days. I woke up, exercised, ate breakfast, then did school work. The same routine over and over. I really enjoy this new routine that I have made for myself. Maybe, being in quarantine is not that bad after all. I found new passions which is exercising and baking.  I believe that there is still hope that everything will go back to normal. Obviously, that will take time and adjustments. Perhaps people the first months after quarantine will be paranoid of going out and there is nothing wrong with that. Society can not expect everyone to go back to their  routine and act like nothing happened after experiencing a global pandemic. We just have to take everything with precaution and slowly we are going to feel normal again. Overall, I really enjoyed quarantine. I made new memories with my family and spent lots of time with them.

President Trump stated “Look, we’re going to lose anywhere from 75,000, 80,000 to 100,000 people; that’s a horrible thing.” President Trump himself knows that people are losing their lives and is not doing anything to help those people. The governors of the states are being careless. Florida is opening up their beaches and their parks. Florida is becoming a possible threat to a second wave of coronavirus cases. It is kind of scary to think that my state is at risk of the coronavirus again. ☹️
