Democratic Governor showing economy more important than life

Check out the article about Cuomo and Blasio on theatlantic.com. It is dated March 27th. Very complimentary of Cuomo’s leadership but points out how in substance both Cuomo and Blasio resisted shutting schools, enforcing social distancing etc. says Cuomo is a master at deflecting blame while Blasio is a master at attracting it.

The reality is that people including our government officials have had to evolve in their thinking as this thing progressed.

 

It was Blasio that resisted closing schools, not Cuomo who is the one who pressured him to do so. Also Cuomo was one of the first Governors to declare their states an emergency, when NY only had 76 cases. What you are stating here isn't true.

 

God, you are tiresome. Accusing someone of lying should be taken more seriously.

Here is an excerpt from the article: Cuomo and de Blasio: A Tale of Two Leaders

Yet for all of their difference in tone, the substance of de Blasio’s and Cuomo’s public response has been more aligned than it might seem. Neither Democrat was particularly quick to order major shutdowns; both were initially reluctant to close schools, and as recently as mid-March, both waffled on whether to scrap the St. Patrick’s Day parade in New York City. And it was the mayor, not the governor, who began calling for a “shelter in place” order days before Cuomo ultimately acted.

“The governor is a genius at deflecting blame, and the mayor is a genius at attracting blame,” the New York elected official said. “That has been true for a long time.”

Katz told me: “For the most part, they’re saying a lot of the right stuff now. Cuomo in particular is rising to this moment. The biggest concern now though is, was it too late?”

As I mentioned from the original post, I think Cuomo is doing a great job. That doesn't mean he was omniscient and got it perfect from the get-go. His thinking has evolved.
