    Just had a good friend, a Colour Sergeant in The Parachute Regiment whose girlfriend lives up in the Midlands. On leave in their bubble, she's a school teacher, and promptly went down with COVID and gave it to him. I put a welfare check into him yesterday, week three of being back in barracks locked down on his own, changing the sheets daily cos they were soaked, and fed from afar by deliveries from his peers, his words to me were:
    "You wouldn't wish this on your enemies".
    He as an example is like a preverbial Butchers Dog, he is extremely fit, and could take on the World Boxing Champion, and it wiped him out, and his girlfriend was a lot worse. They are getting through now but it is a hell hole, if it hits a certain group of people. When you see some go through it after just a day or so, I say good luck to them, but then don't flout the scientific rules as we have to listen to experts NOT Politicians, who afterall only do their bidding!!
    'Tonight my men and I have been through hell and back again, but the look on your faces when we let you out of the hall - we'd do it all again tomorrow.' Major Chris Keeble's words to Goose Green villagers on 29th May 1982 - 2 PARA
