The Horse Guards in chapter 9 were disputing (arguing) about what was going on. Compare and contrast this with what is going on currently worldwide about the coronavirus (COVID-19). Write a paragraph about it (5 or more sentences).

The Horse Guards not knowing exactly what was going on, and yet, responsible for performing their duties none-the-less, is reminiscent of the day to day changes were are undergoing as a result of the coronavirus.

They said that they did not know who had authorised the movements of the troops; their idea was that a dispute had arisen at the Horse Guards. The ordinary sapper is a great deal better educated than the common soldier, and they discussed the peculiar conditions of the possible fight with some acuteness. I described the Heat-Ray to them, and they began to argue among themselves.
