Coronavirus: Catherine Calderwood, Scotland’s chief medical officer, resigns over lockdown trips

Our thanks to Ann for this. The start of the BBC piece:

Scotland’s chief medical officer has resigned after making two trips to her second home during the coronavirus lockdown.

Dr Catherine Calderwood had apologised for her actions, and initially said she planned to continue in the role.

She was backed by First Minister Nicola Sturgeon, who said Dr Calderwood had made a mistake but should stay in her job. [J4MB: The Poison Dwarf wouldn’t have backed a man in the same position.]

But Dr Calderwood released a statement later on Sunday saying she had quit.
