    Why Puerto Rico is doing so much better against COVID-19 than the rest of the U.S.

    ...

    Consider the numbers. For every 100,000 residents, Puerto Rico is currently reporting just six new COVID cases per day. That’s less than half as many as the lowest U.S. state on that list, Connecticut (which is reporting 14/100,000), and nearly a sixth of the nationwide average (34/100,000).

    Vaccinations are a similar story. Several Northeastern states have administered at least one vaccine dose to more than 85 percent of their eligible populations: Vermont (88 percent), Massachusetts (88 percent), Connecticut (87 percent) and Rhode Island (86 percent).

    Puerto Rico is about to hit 90 percent — 15 points higher than the national average.

    I'm guessing they don't have many MAGAts in Puerto Rico. I wish Congress would quit fighting over infrastructure and get it done so that we could address Puerto Rican statehood next :D
