It's strange to me that several references to Jackson, Adams, and DeBlasio's non response during the start of 2020 aren't paired with a similarly withering criticism of the then-chief executive who didn't even encourage mask wearing and pushed reopenings that we know are dangerous for aerosol spread, namely full capacity indoors restaurants and bars.

I don't dispute some restrictions are silly - closing playgrounds outside comes to mind, but they were reopened in my city once it became clear aerosol spread maskless indoors is far more dangerous than fomite transmission or masked aersosol transmission outdoors. Ultimately that is following the science.

It's strange to me...

Not that strange. This is an article in an anti-science publication written by the editor of a right-wing paper.

The author intentionally focuses on federalism to avoid pointing any blame toward the chief executive you mentioned. It’s not an intellectually honest piece.
