THREAD (1/6): Today& #39;s #NPRShortWave ( http://n.pr/39SxKXU )">https://n.pr/39SxKXU&q... focuses on the challenges Puerto Rican Americans face in dealing with the #COVID19 pandemic. They& #39;re esp. vulnerable for a few reasons:
(2/6) 1. They& #39;re one of the oldest populations of Americans and one of the at-risk groups is "older" (65 yrs+) people. (among other factors, see all on the CDC& #39;s website: http://bit.ly/3dW4fYy )">https://bit.ly/3dW4fYy&q...
(3/6) 2. Their healthcare system& #39;s still reeling from #HurricaneMaria ( @ck_525 did a really good explainer on this back in Feb: http://bit.ly/2JOOrcd )">https://bit.ly/2JOOrcd&q...
(4/6) 3. As @moefeliu explains in today& #39;s episode, there& #39;s a lack of Spanish-language information about the pandemic. And what info there is lacks important cultural context. Her org @CienciaPR is trying to fill in those gaps
