The New Yorker has cast a merciless spotlight on governments' early actions (and inactions) against the pandemic. As a New Yorker myself, the article in the May 4 issue [1], contrasting the responses of Seattle/WA and NYC/NY was a gut-wrenching read.

If your opinion even slant rhymes with "it was rough in the beginning, but we did as much as we could as early as we could, thanks to the courage/leadership of Mr. Cuomo / De Blasio", and you care about the truth, I encourage you to read.
