From where we’re sitting, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s handling of the COVID19 crisis is nothing to celebrate, but apparently we’re wrong. Because, as the Washington Post points out, Cuomo has been governing “by science”:
Opinion: Andrew Cuomo gets it right.
Govern by science, not your gut. https://t.co/lQ8d1XrtcB

Leadership!
Unbelievable.https://t.co/3nYEHkba9g

Well, it’d be unbelievable but for one thing:
Rubin. Of course.

It had to be Jennifer Rubin.
How many times have we heard President Trump say he just has a “feeling” or that his “gut feeling” is superior to expert, evidenced-based data? That's a deadly decision-making approach https://t.co/gV8oG7wKnV

Measure the data. Act on the data. Readjust on the data. Such a rational approach to governance is entirely beyond Trump’s capabilities, which is one reason he is uniquely unfit to govern during a health emergency. https://t.co/gV8oG7wKnV

Never fails. Unlike Rubin. Or Cuomo, for that matter.
The best part is using a picture of him disinfecting a subway car, which he waited until May to do.

Took 2+ months to begin nightly sanitizing the subways but ok https://t.co/4IGkI3v2gw

His department of health literally ordered old people bearing possibly lethal infectious diseases be placed within nursing homes, something which even ignorant pre-modern science folks would know is madness. https://t.co/Macx0XWO6r

Guess they were just collateral damage in his Scientific War on COVID19.
I can't believe this. He has been the absolute worst on policy and the outcome in NY is just terrible. Why does he get a pass? And praise?!

Because Orange Man Bad.
You understand science even less than journalism.
