Why is the R number higher in Scotland?
We need a lot more information about why Scotland’s R number seems to be higher than England. We went into lockdown and shut schools just before England and we had tougher rules about construction shutdown etc. So why is our R number higher? Is it care homes, lack of PPE, or are we picking it up in supermarkets or hospitals? Much more data needs to be gathered on positive cases and shared with the public.
Why the contribution is important
To understand the risks and if lockdown could be working better. The curves are coming down much slower than other countries so we need to understand why to reassess strategy.

We've known about this since January. So, scot.gov, get on with it as if at war. See other ideas.
