A recent poll by Ipsos MORI on behalf of BBC Scotland found that 82% of Scots think Sturgeon has handled the crisis “fairly well” or “very well”. Despite the £3.7 billion in extra funding from the UK Government to help Scotland weather the pandemic, only 49% of Scots think the UK Government has handled the crisis well.
Yet claims that Sturgeon is having a “good pandemic” are as inaccurate as they are inappropriate. According to the former Head of Analysis for the ONS, Scotland’s coronavirus death rate is one of the worst in the world.
