I have to give him credit for raising his profile and coming across as a leader through this pandemic.  However, while he deserves credit for the response he deserves lots of criticism for past decisions that have caused NY to the epicenter of the Wuhan virus.

1. He was warned early by his heath department director and decided not to act.
2. He had an opportunity in 2015 to spend funds to buy 16,000 ventilators as recommended but instead decided to spend that money on solar panels.  And he instructed his health dept director to instead come up with a plan to ration ventilators instead.

So when you watch him criticize or blame others for the mess he is deflecting.
