    Today’s @EveningStandard will be delivered free to hundreds of thousands of homes in London. We’re also putting many more copies in supermarkets. Many of you can’t travel and pick up a copy; so we’re coming to you. We stood with London in the Blitz; we stand with London today.

        Does it explain who slashed the benefit system and underfunded the NHS, leaving the country so exposed and vulnerable?

        The very last thing you should be doing is having people delivering newspapers all over town and in peoples doors. Surely!

        two studies investigated the survival of two strains of SARS coronavirus on a paper surface. One survived 4–5 days, the other for just 3 hours. Medical news today*

        That’s really sensible George. I don’t think delivering the Evening Standard falls under essential work. And this isn’t the Blitz, you could’t spread the Blitz. You’re being irresponsible. We have online now, no need for physical newspaper 🙄 #COVID19 #COVIDIOTS

        George, won’t that be a massive infection and transmission risk, right in the middle of an increasing London outbreak?

        “Self isolating due to being high risk? Don’t worry - we’ll deliver the virus right to your homes, with a load of guff from the bloke who gutted the health, social care and benefits budgets!” Talk about service with a smile.
