Of course she shouldn't have done it, it was totally the wrong thing to do.
However, do we know the full circumstances? She drove there, stayed overnight, checked everything was secure and came home, she wasn't escaping to a holiday home. Sacking her at this time and conducting a witch hunt wouldn't achieve anything, when her skills are needed the most. Who would replace her? Anyone taking over would need to hit the ground running.
Having watched Chris Whitty and Catherine Calderwood giving Coronavirus briefings, I know who I would want as Chief medical Officer and it wouldn't be Chris Whitty.
Catherine Calderwood is very articulate and dedicated, she has been working seven days a week, without a break.
What about her mental health, perhaps she just needed to get away from it all. I can't imagine the stress she must be under.
If she went in her own car, with her own family and maintained social distancing, how do we know she put anyone at risk?
Can everyone posting on here say that they have followed the rules to the letter of the law?
