THREAD (1/6): Today's #NPRShortWave ( http://n.pr/39SxKXU ) focuses on the challenges Puerto Rican Americans face in dealing with the #COVID19 pandemic. They're esp. vulnerable for a few reasons:
(2/6) 1. They'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's website: http://bit.ly/3dW4fYy )
(3/6) 2. Their healthcare system's still reeling from #HurricaneMaria ( @ck_525 did a really good explainer on this back in Feb: http://bit.ly/2JOOrcd )
(4/6) 3. As @moefeliu explains in today's episode, there'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
(5/6) You can check out some of the Spanish #scicomm Mónica Feliú-Mójer's org @CienciaPR is doing by clicking through to this thread: https://twitter.com/moefeliu/status/1239337621374955520
