NY Times: Cuomo and de Blasio didn’t keep up with the outbreak (Update: Cuomo says he wasn’t slow to act)

Finally, belatedly, the NY Times has published an article which takes a hard look at the coronavirus response by Gov. Cuomo and Mayor de Blasio. The article concludes that neither elected official did a great job responding to the virus:
For many days after the first positive test, as the coronavirus silently spread throughout the New York region, Mr. Cuomo, Mr. de Blasio and their top aides projected an unswerving confidence that the outbreak would be readily contained.
There would be cases, they repeatedly said, but New York’s hospitals were some of the best in the world. Plans were in place. Responses had been rehearsed during “tabletop†exercises. After all, the city had been here before — Ebola, Zika, the H1N1 virus, even Sept. 11.
