Everyone seems to like governor cuomo now. But with time, as people begin asking questions about why there was a crisis at this level for him to manage in the first place, I think that might change. Mayor Deblasio's legacy was rightly set when he went to the gym the day lockdown started - he'll never shake off his newfound reinforced reputation as a weak, arrogant, ineffective leader. But our governor also hedged and denied initially, refusing to close schools and the city, not acting more decisively even when cases ticked into the hundreds. He's learned his lesson now, and the federal government deserves it's fair share of blame, but it took too long to put science first here, and once things get out of control in NY, it's only a matter of time before things spread elsewhere.

I'm hoping that it will be possible to put individual hospital systems under scrutiny for their handling of the virus so that things there can improve as well.
