March 28, 2020Mathylde Frontus Co-Sponsors Rent Bill
Mathylde Frontus being who she said she would be.
I didn’t have to second guess if she was going to be on the rent bill – I knew she would be. The bill is dated March 24th and no one had to ask her to get on it. See bill here.
If you read this blog regularly, you know I don’t rent. But I am connected to many people who do rent and they lost their jobs. This pandemic is not their fault and the state needs to step in.

March 27, 2020How NYC Politicians and Health Officials Failed Us.
How are WE, the most powerful country in the world at this point?
A lot of people led astray and don’t know what they are talking about.
The writing was on the wall in China, Italy and other parts of the world – we could have been more prepared.
Our city didn’t take precautions either. Closing schools should have happened long before it did to make sure everyone was safe. Teachers and School leaders died because of the choices people in this city made.
Mayor de Blasio spoke about the coronavirus germs living on surfaces for a short time. I listened carefully because I wanted to know if I needed to lysol the keyboards in my room every hour or every day or every few days. De Blasio said that the coronavirus could only live for a few minutes outside the body. More than a week later we learned that the coronavirus could live for days on plastic.
This is the medical leader speaking on February 7th – she could have prepared us and told us what we needed to do.

Local leaders like City Councilman Justin Brannan and Senator Andrew Gounardes were telling people to eat in the restaurants on 8th Avenue. Those huge restaurants are usually packed, but the community knew how deadly the coronavirus was, so they weren’t going to the restaurants. Why didn’t Brannan and Gounardes take the same precautions?
UPDATE:
The firm of a big donor to Bill de Blasio, which had not previously had any recorded city contracts, got a $119M contract with NYC last month for medical equipment and PPE. It included two million N95s for $4 each. https://t.co/yxy94HLQfY

March 27, 2020NYC Coronavirus Neighborhood Map is Useless
NYC put out a misleading map and Senator Gounardes shared it.
What’s wrong with the map?
It doesn’t say how many people in each neighborhood tested positive. The map only shows what percentage of people WHO WERE TESTED have COVID-19.
Instead of Gounardes asking the city for clarification on this, he posted it on his Twitter page and people in his area are going to think the area has a low level of coronavirus, as compared to other areas.
Why is the city withholding how many people in each neighborhood have coronavirus?

March 27, 2020If Brannan Wanted to Do Something, He Should Have Called the Mayor – Not Channel 1
“For a city going on almost 9 million people, New York really comes together like a small town when we have to,” says Council Member @JustinBrannan. pic.twitter.com/Mo9A79JO41
— Spectrum News NY1 (@NY1) March 27, 2020
Justin Brannan did ABSOLUTELY nothing here, but he wants to go on television and pretend that he has.
If we have a problem with people not keeping a social distance at the parks, Brannan could have called the Mayor and asked him to order it closed.
Or Brannan could have called the police.
Instead he went on television to complain about it and repeat a politician statement: “NY’ers come together blah, blah, blah.”
