Is Chris Whitty ok?

[MummyNeedsWineNow]

Just that.

I've googled and found nothing.

Hope he's ok

He strikes me as a lovely, normal man, suddenly thrust into the limelight and now facing this awful illness.

Wishing you a speedy recovery Chris Whitty.

I have a lot of respect for him and his scientific counterpart.

I truly hope that once we are out of this crisis, there is a lot less tolerance of stupid, nasty, shallow people who go in for this, and a general shift in values towards respecting integrity, wisdom, knowledge, moral fibre and kindness.

If not, let’s nuke the bastards. 🤣

He was shown on the virtual Cobr meeting two days ago. Hopefully he emerge before too long.

I was just thinking that today. He seems a lovely man. Really hope he is okay

Agree re Jenny Harries, she seems very competent and capable.

Hope he is going okay, people are really cruel on social media. No surprise there I guess unfortunately :(

He's the very epitome of unflappable whenever I've seen him. Never seems to dodge the question and speaks with compassion and clarity.

I'm with you @Hopeisnotastrategy !!

I find him very reassuring. I have often wished that he was in charge rather than Boris

^This! Also hope he's well and back soon.

Jenny Harries was in favour of herd immunity and keeping the schools open. The exact opposite of competent. @pollodeprimavera @rc22

I noticed he was on the cabinet conference call picture which was released the other day. Get well soon, Chris. We need you.

He is one of the good ones. Liked him from the start.

@whitedogpoo at least she seems to have changed her mind. I have a lot of respect for her, she seems to tell it how it is

Hope he is ok and gets a knighthood when this is all over. And a house made of diamonds. Which he will decline because he's so cool and humble.

Oh no - haven't seen anything negative about him on social media. I think he's great

I like him. He seems like the voice of reason amongst the chaos.

I was wondering that too, he seems such a knowledgeable, sensible & reassuring voice in all this madness.

As for those trolling him, I'm sure they don't have fraction of his intelligence, says it all really if they are focusing on his appearance etc

He doesn’t have family as far as what’s available about him online

I’m so sad at the way he’s been trolled

I have the utmost respect for what he’s doing for us all

Hope he’s ok

#bekind didn't last long, did it?!

I am slightly in love with the Scottish equivalent Jason Leitch. Calm, rational sensible advice. I feel better with him on our team.

I listened to a documentary about him on radio 4 and he is incredibly well regarded and superbly qualified for his current role, we're lucky to have him. I hope he is well and then people trolling him feel ashamed of themselves
Bet some of them were in the 'be kind' brigade recently.

Really horrible he’s been attacked on SM
Hope he doesn’t waste his time even reading any of it

I totally agree he’s just the sort of person we need at the head of all of this.

I was very impressed with him. I hope he is ok.

He has been tweeting regularly

I sometimes think I live in a parallel universe. I would never troll or be nasty to people but I think our CMO, CSO & their deputies have done this country a terrible disservice. Jenny Harries’S comments re large public events were either entirely incompetent or deliberately misleading. In her position, watching people become sick & infect others as a result of my advice, I would resign. Even people with letters after their names or who make you think of a mum get things wrong. In this case, they have recklessly gambled the health of a nation & its economy on a foolish & entirely wrong model. I am so angry.
