Andrew Cuomo took the blame off of himself and instead partially blamed the media and experts.
"Where were all the experts? Where was the New York Times, where was the Wall Street Journal, where was all the bugle blowers who should say, 'Be careful, there’s a virus in China that may be in the United States?' That was in November, December.”
The governor said that he wished he had acted sooner in responding to the spread of the virus.
"I wish someone stood up and blew the bugle. And if no one was going to blow the bugle, I would feel much better if I was a bugle blower last December and January," he said.

New York Times Metro Editor Jorge Arangure responded on Twitter, saying the Times wrote 450 stories about coronavirus between January 9 and March 1.
Meanwhile, the governor revealed that 31 percent of those tested in New York City have antibodies present, indicating they were exposed to the virus. The statistics show much lower numbers in more rural parts of the state.
