Nick Reisman reports at New York State of Politics that Gov. Andrew Cuomo wants $40 million in supplemental funding to be prepared for a possible outbreak of the covid-19 coronavirus. There have not been any confirmed cases of the virus in New York. But earlier in the week the Centers for Disease Control said an outbreak in the United States was "inevitable."
