I can reflect back to almost the very beginning when collective adherence to the fundamental rules in fighting against the spread of COVID was paramount. My initial perception of the situation was that some form of success for this strategy was definitely relative to the "discipline of the population" and that perception doesn't just apply to Scotland. I expected some of the crises that are cropping up in England and predicted them long before they happened. Certain regions of Scotland have been a disappointment for me but the rising infections/"spikes" in Glasgow and surrounding areas have not surprised me at all.
