So, back to the thread: Calderwood has resigned. Inevitable.

Not sure how to feel about that. Obviously she was v.silly and hypocritical but if her expertise is needed surely that is more important? I imagine she’ll still be kept in a less senior backroom role?

It would have made policing the stay at home rules impossible in Scotland should she have remained.

Your quest for justice in this matter matter would me more impressive were it not motivated by party political point scoring.
Or does 'ethical democracy' only apply to those you say it does?

She does have medical qualifications. Perhaps they could find her a job treating coronavirus patients.

Not one I'd want to be a member of because my ethical democracy extends to a dislike of the ignorant.
Well she's obs and gynae so unless your pregnant she will be limited in scope.
I think it's needing a ventilator in ICU where your chances are low.
More data is released each day now, I'll post some tomorrow. Given it's ultra densely populated area, with it's multi generational housing, l'd guess only a small % of people who think they are infected, or are infected, would actually want/choose to go to the hospital right now.

Has anyone thought that if Johnson is incapacitated Raab becomes acting PM.

Interesting decision by Sturgeon to stand by the doctor when she must have known resignation was close to inevitable.
Sturgeon is a skilled political tactician so may have thought her display of loyalty was the best way to limit the damage to her government.
Either that, or she is so arrogant and conceited she genuinely thought her intervention would be enough to sway the public mood.

Sweden likely to ramp up restrictions in the next few days. Probably for the best as they have three times the death rate (per million pop) as neighbours Norway.
This is good timing being right before the Easter break. There are thousands of young swedes working in and around Oslo. I know of one, otherwise sensible, lass who is planning on sneaking in and out to avoid the quarantine period.

I would have told you but you just chose ignorance.

Apparently she offered to resign but it was refused initially because she is very good at her job.
