ALBANY — Hey, I like your … PowerPoints.

Gov. Andrew Cuomo said besides a  “productive” Tuesday meeting with President Trump, he also learned White House Coronavirus Response Coordinator, Dr. Deborah Birx, is a big fan of his PowerPoint slides.

“I do the same press conference the same way, the same PowerPoint that they all ridiculed, by the way for years, and then I’m with Dr. Birx in the White House yesterday and she says, ‘those PowerPoints are so good because people need to have both the visual as well as the auditory because they process differently,’” Cuomo said Wednesday during a radio interview on WAMC’s “The Roundtable.”

“I said, thank you, Doctor; I wish you were in New York,” he joked.

For 53 consecutive days the third-term Democrat has held daily press briefings providing updates on the coronavirus, mainly from the State Capitol Building in Albany.

The slides are replete with charts detailing hospitalization averages, virus totals per region and studies tracking COVID-19’s spread across the Empire State.

Many have personality, some reading “Blame Me!” or quoting historical figures like Winston Churchill or Franklin Delano Roosevelt.

But Cuomo admitted despite the pandemic crisis that’s upended lives, costing 15,302 across the state as of Tuesday — he hasn’t changed.

“I do exactly the same thing. Now, government matters more to people now than before. It always mattered to me and I always thought it was an art form and I always thought it had great potential to do great things but, you know, people weren’t there,” he explained.

“Government became like a boutique cocktail party discussion but it wasn’t highly relevant and now, yeah, it matters and competence matters and performance matters and it’s a matter of life and death so their perspective changed, not mine.”
