History
The United States took control of Puerto Rico from Spain in the aftermath of the Spanish-American War under the terms of the Treaty of Paris of 1898. In 1899, the United States conducted its first census of Puerto Rico finding that the population of Turabo barrio was 1,557.[6]
gollark: There's the "wash your hands" campaigns and apparently the government's trying to deal with the economic impact later, but we're doing horribly on testing (better than the US...) and seemingly not actually doing much to stop the spread preemptively.
gollark: I'm worried that the UK appears to not actually be doing much about coronavirus.

gollark: Apparently hospitals could test for coronavirus cheaply with stuff they generally already had available, but the FDA only allowed the CDC's tests to be used. But those had a broken component. Hospitals also had replacements for that broken bit, but the way the tests were licensed didn't allow them to be replaced. So they just limited testing to those returning from China, so they have no idea of spread.
gollark: The whole thing with the FDA/CDC managing to horribly mess up testing.
