Nicola Sturgeon’s decision to be open and honest about the choices the country faces is a landmark moment.

Period! Nic is streets ahead of the B-Team that is the English govt and showing great leadership. Once again proving she’s the best leader in the UK by far

Her and the Scottish Government's policy on this crisis has been exactly the same as the UK government.

More tests and less deaths per head of population, and she’s actually shared an exit strategy instead of keeping everyone in the dark like the English gov

Only the thickos are in the dark, there are 5 key areas to be met as they keep saying over and over and over the main one being a sustainable daily drop in deaths which no nation has yet achieved

To be fair Scotland is not on target to hit their predicted testing goal either.

'The Scottish government has previously committed to carrying out 3,500 tests a day for Covid-19 by the end of April.

Its latest figures show there were 1,290 patients tested on Thursday.'

She can be a bit more open politically about easing the lockdown because of the lower death rate - which is down to lucky circumstances more than anything, in my opinion.

Maybe not.

'Early lockdown' means Scottish death rate will be lowerScotland will have a lower death rate from coronavirus than the rest of the UK due to lockdown being introduced at an earlier stage of the country’s ‘epidemic curve’ experts have said.'

Even the Telegraph yesterday admitted she is bossing it. But let's face facts. She is by far the best UK politician by a country mile.

If she was bossing it why not lock down earlier than Westminster

Well it’s probably the reason. At the moment Scotland doesn’t have enough control over its own finances in order to be in a position to provide anything like the furlough scheme for business and workers, hence we had to wait until the UK as a whole did it

Do we have data for care homes, for comparison??

[Livia]

It doesn't look to me like she's using this as a political point scoring exercise. It's her supporters using her for that.
