Chris Whitty

... I just think he is amazing and so straight talking. He knows his stuff and seems down to earth. I love the way he handles the questions from the press and concentrates on the task in hand.

He’s the only one I care to listen to. Very fond of him! Brilliant man

He is a total joy. Maybe I should stop avoiding the press conferences, I am missing him.
The rest of it is so annoying though.

He's a professor, something he earned! Definitely trumps sir.

He was at school with my dp, serious chap then apparently

I tend to "do" the press conference if he is on in order to hear him. I trust him. Dont trust the politicians.

I'm in agreement. He's intelligent and straightforward, which makes him a great communicator. He speaks in facts that are easy to understand, and doesn't shy away from unpleasant truths.

I love Chriss Whitty, he has been my calm through the storm. I think once we are truly through these times him and Patrick will bring books out about the pandemic. I will be first in the cur to buy them or to buy tickets for there evening with tour.

Apparently, last Christmas he quietly spent the Christmas weekend doing rounds in the respiratory ward in a hospital, dealing with patients. By all accounts a lovely, lovely man.

I love my husband but..... if CW were a few years younger....

My friend is an infectious disease consultant and knows him. Really lovely guy apparently

I remember when his father, Kenneth, was murdered back in the 80s. It took me a while to realise Chris was his son. I always think Chris's measured responses are honest, yet reassuring - just the right tone.

I like him but I feel like he always looks so sad 😪

He looks like someone who doesn't have a lot of fun!

I imagine he probably hasn't for the last couple of years.

I’m famous in my family for loving CW - he’s just a grown up in a sea of vacuous nonentities. He also has a tragic back story as his father was murdered in a case of mistaken identity when he was a child, which makes me admire what he has achieved even more.

such a beautiful soul, so much good, so much kindness and so much common bloody sense and good old fashioned real scientific knowledge. I hope he does get recognition for his contribution in some way - not sure it would ever be enough. He will go down in history

I agree.

Chris Whitty, if you ever read this I truly wish you and your family a very merry Christmas!

He seems totally committed to public service. He's admirable and has put up with a lot of shit. Kudos to him, esp as he has to work with BJ.

Oh I agree, I think he’s brilliant.

@SirSidneyRuffDiamond that is so sad, I didn't realise he had that family history

He comes over as genuine and I'd put my trust in him over Boris any day!

I’d love him to teach me stuff, over a nice cup of tea.

He is amazing, someone who comes across as truly a good person.

Yes, I would love Chris Whitty to be a mums-netter, (but I imagine he isn't !)
His alias name would be something in Latin or very clever!!
I doubt he even knows it exists .
Maybe someone should tell him ?

Yeah, he sounds very decent and sincere.

I've worked with him a few times. He is incredibly smart, committed and only speaks when he genuinely has something to say. I wish there were many more people like him.

He's the only person I've trusted the whole way through this pandemic.
If he's recommending we do something I have genuine faith that it's for the best.
