Where is Professor Chris Whitty?

[Squintybumcheek]

I am missing Professor Whitty at the press conferences. Where has he gone? I hope he is back soon, I found him very clear and concise in his info.

I was wondering about this too. Maybe his disappearance is related to the goby change in strategy?

I hope he's not ill! 🙁😷

Exactly. A number of Chief Medical Officers in different countries have become ill and even sadly died.

It does seem that the extent of exposure can affect severity and outcomes.

He tweeted an hour ago

He's been active on Twitter, so he's still about.

Maybe he's answering all the newfound fan mail I'm sure he's getting?!

Having some much needed downtime possibly? I think they may be rotating press handling as they all have other parts of their jobs to do too.

Self isolating? Prof Neil Ferguson did say that there is a lot of CV-19 in Westminster.

@CadburysTastesVileNow that's good news! Sending him positive thoughts. Such a hard job atm, how would you ever switch off?

Sorry I forgot I posted this! I saw he was back yesterday, very glad about that. Hope him and Boris were social distancing

No idea where the blush came from!

He is self isolating

It's been on news he has symptoms so he is self isolating too

A news alert from BBC News not 5 mins ago said he was self isolating with COVID symptoms.

I read that he was the one who initially advised Boris to get tested.

He’s terrifying in that public announcement video he did. I’m sure he’s a lovely chap but there’s a sci-fi vibe about him.
