There comes a time when you just want to tell someone to “Shut up and get on with it”. Standing in the queue for Tescos recently, I’ve begun to listen to how people are so-called struggling with life and being told to stay indoors. I find some of this quite funny to listen to as background noise while queuing up to grab some supplies.

You have to, at times, count yourself lucky. Yes, people are dying, and that’s just a fact of life. The NHS is doing some excellent work to defeat this horrendous virus COVID-19. But the simple message is to stay indoors simple instructions. The weather is good, and people think its a time to go out and enjoy the sun. Think of it as if you were in a country fighting against an enemy that you rarely see when being engaged by machine gunfire. COVID-19 is the enemy today. You can not see it let along fight it. The defence is an excellent weapon in times like this, we can stay put and hide from it, or you can go outside on mass and try to fight it. Let’s add some common sense here. You cant see the virus so how do you fight it. You fight it by avoiding the contact in the first place…. common sense you’d think.

Exercise is great as I’ve said before, but sitting in large groups drinking and eating enjoying the sun is opening yourself up to be engaged by this deadly virus.

If we could at times stayed inside our patrol bases and not gone out to secure areas or dominate no man’s land, maybe we would of all come home. The enemy hides in all sorts of places where at times you think you are safe. Until that day, when you hear a massive explosion or gunfire, you know you are in the wrong place and the wrong time. Your Luck runs out, and your time will be up.
