I feel sorry for Chris Whitty every time I see him on TV

It has been rumoured that Chief Medical Officer, Professor Chris Whitty, has made it clear to the government that he may resign.

Every time he appears on our TV screens, gently warning us about the dangers which lie ahead as scientists try to navigate the pandemic, calm Chris always looks tired and stressed which is unsurprising.

It was rumoured in some tabloids that Whitty is not willing to be the government’s scapegoat if the pandemic takes a downward turn and that they need to start listening to the science.

His resignation would be explosive, but our government is not following the science, what more can he do?
