Bairnardo Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 48% of tests proving positive is quite worrying. I dont see that as bad at all. Glad they are obviously doing decent screenings first before wasting tests we dont have. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She could make her position very clear and Calderwood’s position would be untenable.It's not pedantry - start running the Civil Service any other way and you end up acting like Priti Patel.Until the Permanent Secretary takes action, and I believe she will, a minister can only express their reservations privately to the Permanent Secretary. I would expect that the FM will have raised this with the Permanent Secretary. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah. Poor show from the fanny doctor but not sackable IMO and responses to it say more about our desire for everything to be black and white. A slap on the wrist was fine. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 45 minutes ago, bendan said: Is it? I found it quite alarming when people who clearly have it are not tested yet 90% of tests were negative. A high percentage might indicate it has spread quite widely in the community, which would actually be encouraging. If we take it that many of those tested are already unwell and showing "symptoms" but are then testing negative, would that not insinuate that there was something else going around such as a different flu strain etc or alternatively that the test wasn't very accurate ?? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woolf Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 I’m no lover of Sturgeon or the SNP but if she thinks the CMO is crucial to our path through this,I will take her at her word.Let her advise but keep her well away from the cameras or all we’ll see a a perpetual media circus. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeTillEhDeh Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 But I assume the FM can ask for a different representative for the daily briefing.Rock and a hard place is the reality here.Damned for appearing today - if she hadn't appeared the usual Unionist loon balls would have said that the FM was trying to hide something. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craigkillie Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 Haven't bothered reading the last 20 pages or so, but Calderwood has nuked all of her credibility as the public face of the campaign, so it is clearly the right thing to keep her off media duties from now on. Don't really have any issue with keeping her on to do the actual job she's paid for as long as she is good at it - that's more important than posturing about sacking folk for the sake of it. She's really fucked me off big time though - what an entitled arsehole you'd have to be to do what she did. 16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
