As usual Scottish journalists asking real questions not trying to ego massage.
Nicola Sturgeon asked if the increase in cases is down to more virus or more testing.
Rightly she says a bit of both and emphasises the % figure Scotland gives daily but England probably cannot be bothered to do or cannot work out as our slide rule is broken.
I add that figure here when I can as it is a key indicator like Nicola recognises. And as she rightly added the % used to be abojut half what it is now but watching it be kept within reason and hopefully falling tells us much more about how well we are doing than just spouting the number of new cases daily.
It is at 1% today. But it has been up to 1.3% a few days ago. So if it can fall consistently below 1% that will be a good sign.
