general wasn't great. My spouse and I missed her father's wedding (he had been widowed) because Cuomo had instituted a mandatory week long quarantine for anyone who left the tri-state area. I'm not inclined to go look it up, but that's what I remember. Her job is one that cannot be done remotely, so quarantining for a week was not a realistic option. That was just one of the many things that those in charge in NY foisted upon the little people.
I agree that everyone was trying to do their best, but also fully agree that there needs to be an open retrospective on this. Not a witch hunt, but a careful and deep analysis of what went well, what could have gone better, and what we can learn from the experience to improve when and if a similar situation arises in the future.
