Sen. Chuck Schumer on Sunday urged the federal government to designate a multi-drug-resistant superbug an emergency so millions more in funds can be made available to New York where hundreds of cases have already been reported.
“When it comes to the superbug, New York could use a little more help with a SWAT team,” Schumer said during a news conference in his Manhattan office.
