Honour the Chief Medical Officer Chris Whitty with a knighthood.
Rejected

What the petition asks
Chris Whitty has been an absolute rock providing essential advice, he has recently been called upon to address the nation on his own to plead with people to stay at home from a non political perspective.
I think the government need a gentle push to reward the treasure that is clearly right under their nose!
Why it was rejected
It was about honours or appointments, which petitions cannot cover.
