It still notes the following:

We should be grateful that our mayor took the COVID-19 threat seriously, listened to her health experts, and supported their dictums. This is not faint praise; this is more than many local, state and — notably — federal officials could be bothered to do. The comparison of Breed tweeting out warnings of a pending shelter-in-place while New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio made theater recommendations is telling, regardless of who issued the shelter-in-place orders. 
Breed declaring a state of emergency on Feb. 25 was a move that has aged well. San Francisco, and the Bay Area writ large, have not been ravaged by COVID-19 as other areas have, and that’s because of relatively early, aggressive actions (at least among the housed population). 
So, we should praise Mayor Breed for what she did and what she’s done. But not for what she didn’t do and hasn’t done — and will not do.

That seems to me a good enough reason to praise her.  I mean, on Feb. 25, there were 57 confirmed cases of COVID-19 in the country, and Trump was saying that COVID-19 is "very well under control in our country".  The next day he said we are a few days away from Coronavirus cases dropping to zero.  And the contrast between Breed and DeBlasio is striking.
