Scotland, Covid and Face Masks

I don't have any problem wearing a face mask.

I don't think it's anything like living in Nazi Germany and I have been following the rules closely from Day One - more than most I suspect.

But I have questions.

For example, if face masks are so effective why did Covid cases in Scotland go through the roof in August and September when Scotland became the Covid capital of Europe?

Cases in England, for example, did not get out of control as they did in Scotland, yet our English neighbours did not have a face mask mandate in place so you would think their experience would have been worse.

Likewise with Omicron, the latest Covid variant of concern - Scotland has many more cases (per head of population) than other parts of the UK, so why are face masks not slowing the spread?

I do hope someone will put these points to Scotland's politicians and Covid advisers.

So here's the issue - two Glasgow MSPs (Nicola Sturgeon and Humza Yousaf) have been asked a reasonable question about their use of public money to employ two SNP councillors who already have full-time, salaried jobs as senior elected members of Glasgow City Council.   But these two public servants (both long-serving ministers) refuse to answer, so what to do next? One regular reader suggests raising the matter on the floor of the Scottish Parliament which is a good idea, but requires an MSP who's prepared to put down a written question for Scottish Ministers to answer. So here's a list of activities which will help shine a light on what has been going on because as Lord Nolan once said apropos driving up standards in public life - 'daylight is the best disinfectant'. Write to the leader of Glasgow City Council Write to the Chief Executive of Glasgow City Council Write to all elected members in Glasgow City Council Write to the party leaders in Glasgow City Council W
