Back on March 5, when people in the UK were not yet concerned about the spread of COVID-19, Peng Wu, a Chinese student at University of Leeds, decided to chart the growth in cases in the country to raise people's awareness of the pandemic. 

"Insisting on doing this every day actually encourages everyone to continue to pay attention to the pandemic," Wu said. His effort has won him widespread applause on social media.
