Chris Witty

[Bobbisox1]

This fella may not be eye candy to you. You may not find him funny or entertaining, and the public messages that pop up in the adverts are a bit dry. But at the moment we don’t need Ant or Dec, holly or Phil. We have no use for Iron Man or Cptn America, or even Tom Hardy (I cant believe I am saying that!).

We need our extraordinary Chief Medical Officer, Chris Whitty. Why? ......

He is a Physician and Epidemiologist who has dedicated his life to medical practice, research and teaching and he is considered to be one of the leading world experts on infectious diseases.

He only took on the chief CMO role in October 2019, and until the coronavirus threat emerged, he had never done broadcast interviews or held press briefings or conferences.

He has worked in various countries throughout Europe, Asia and Africa and played a leading role in the effort on the Ebola outbreak in 2014, when he held the post of chief scientific adviser at the Department for International Development

Colleagues have described him as "Made for the role of CMO" and "an absolutely extraordinary, brilliant man" and "Exactly the man we need.

It requires serious BALLS to take on a role like that.

I thank you Chris Whitty

Well said by Jennifer Saunders, very true.

[Bobbisox1]

Well you don’t think I said it Mamya, do ya? Haha

[Mamyalynne]

I knew who'd said it and I agree with her statement.

[Bobbisox1]

Agreed.

[Bobbisox1]

She’s a disgrace Tiggs

[ladybirder]

I think he's a lovely guy. Comes over as a very modest and thoroughly decent bloke.

[Bobbisox1]

That’s a very good analogy of him LB

[ladybirder]

Thank you Bobbi, ain't that the truth;-)

[marval]

That is most definitely true, we need someone like him in these difficult times.
