Grateful for what exactly?

Sir, – I keep hearing and reading we should be grateful for the very presence of Nicola Sturgeon, but nobody seems to be able to offer any good reason why.

A total of 2,490 people have lost their lives to this virus.

That is 0.05% of the population and our economy has been closed down.

Livelihoods lost, education abandoned and, crucially, medical treatment withheld.

We should be grateful for that?

Approximately 32,700
