Margaret Besheer

   NEW YORK - New York'sgovernor said Friday that he was continuing to
   shop "around the globe" to purchase 30,000 ventilators,
   despiteU.S.President Donald Trump's statement that he thought the
   figure was overblown.

   "Maybe you don't need 30,000. Well, I don't have a crystal ball,"
   Andrew Cuomo said at his daily news conference. "Everybody's entitled
   to their own opinion. But I don't operate here on opinion. I operate on
   facts, and on data, and on numbers and on projections."
