April 2020 - Hero's and Idiots!

For the majoriy of people, our lives have been turned upside down in many, many ways for some more so than others. Yes, we are in the middle of Covid 19 virus pandemic very sadly and ‘normal’ what ever that was for people is no longer ‘normal’. For some, it is their worst nightmare, others they shit scared, some are hero’s although they don’t accept or realise it, others carry on if nothing has happened and some think it is a hoilday, thinking they carry on because they think they are super human and won’t catch the virus! The mind boggles were you certainly see the good and bad behaviour of human beings! 

It goes without saying the people at the front line, the Doctors and Nurses who go beyond their duty, in some cases sacrifice their lives for the well being of their fellow human beings, words cannot describe what we think but everyone of them through out the world deserve a medal but I know they be happy seeing people recover but also importantly, they make it to the end too. To me they are the HERO’s. However, there are many many other people who are risking their lives, some more than others to keep the NHS and the country going, they all deserve a mention and again our grateful thanks too.   

On the flip side, we also see the idiots, the people you seem to do not care about others and think they carry on life as normal. Either being oblivious and just choose to ignoring the seriousness of the situation, thinking it wont happen to them! What possess them to think like that, I have no idea but they certainly need a reality check and one way of that happening, is to watch a BBC news report taken inside a Intensive Care Unit on how the doctors and nurses cope and look after the various people who are suffering from the Covid 19 virus! It is hard hitting and you got to be impressed by the dedication of the staff but also feel for them too. Then you see the various patients, and you begin to shit yourself to realise how percarious life is! Talking of living on the edge is an understatement. 

Let us hope that at some future date in the medium term, we all come out of this alive and well, may be just may be, we will all be better people for it too - I wont hold my breath but I will hope though! Please stay safe and take extreme care.
