@NYCTSubway I would add E line as delayed, heading downtown from Forest Hill, Queens. We are a moving at a snail’s pace. It’s been 15 minutes and we haven’t arrived at our first stop - Roosevelt.

[Lonni Tanner @lonnitanner]

@NYCTSubway Super upset. Need 2 talk 2 human re: declined MTA verif’n. Have backup pics walking 2 back of train. Power loss at GC, Friday rush, 4/5 about 9:20a (maybe earlier) + other delays. Never declined. If have 2 come down, will. Where? Imp’t. Wk 4 City/paying price.

[Lonni Tanner @lonnitanner]

@NYCTSubway Thank you for thanking me for my patience. But I have none. I can’t remember the last time the E/F to/from Forest Hills ran express without signal problems. Transfers to 4, 5, 6, more angst. The delays listed are often wrong. I feel your pain. I feel mine.

@NYGovCuomo flummoxed. My read: CDC says simultaneously: “Social distancing should be practiced in combination with...wearing masks...” and just reinstated potential 4 airborne transmission. Uncommon, it says. Let’s be NY Uncommon: masks even when 6 ft apart. Earmuffs not yet

[Lonni Tanner @lonnitanner]

@NYGovCuomo eviction moratorium extension, great; defaulting on rent, not so much. One option: early out – 30 days notice at any time during the lease. W/ layoffs, loss of healthcare looming, one size does not fit all

[Lonni Tanner @lonnitanner]

It's prime time for renewing/signing residential leases. Please consider delaying this ritual and/or inserting a reasonable out clause. My landlord won't even return calls to discuss. I know I'm biting my nails @NYCMayor @NYGovCuomo @NYCSpeakerCoJo. #COVID19 #RentReliefNow

[Lonni Tanner @lonnitanner]

Dear @NYGovCuomo you done good. As the sanest person in the room – and I hate to ruin the state's progress (I'm a NYCer) – please think about convincing the country to go on pause until after July 6. You can do it. Why? Because NY is Tough, Smart, United, Disciplined. And Loving

[Lonni Tanner @lonnitanner]

@NYGovCuomo you done good. As the sanest gov in the room, and I hate to ruin the state's progress (I'm a NYCer), please think about convincing the country to pause until after July 4. You can do it. New York is tough, smart, united, disciplined. And loving.
