I'm sorry to say Nicola and Jeanne have to take a fair bit of stick for this shilly-shallying as well. Health is a Scottish Government responsibility, as is Transport. Nicola took it upon herself to announce Scottish restrictions, so she obviously has admitted responsibility for the problem.
Flights have been coming into Edinburgh from Italy and no-one seems to have thought it a good idea to check the passengers for Coronavirus. When new cases/deaths are announced, no locations are given on the first day, so many people are continuing their daily business in these locations when possibly at risk.
As usual, we're now springing into decisive action both in Scotland and ROUK after the damage has been done.
