There have been several of us here who have been impressed on how Nicola Sturgeon has come across at her daily Covid briefings, so I thought this was an interesting comment from a BBC Scotland interview today (there is no direct link, it's just on the list of today's news items.)
"Comparing Scotland with other parts of Europe, other parts of the world, I'd say you're doing good because you are tackling it carefully and logically. You are thinking through how do we make sure people are safe and how do we make sure the economy can restart? And you are layering these two together. There are some countries which are saying it's either the economy or people's health and they are presenting it as a choice. It's not a choice. You are watching, learning, applying, coming to terms with it. And most importantly you are levelling with the people what the government is trying to work through."
