SAN JUAN – Puerto Ricans are becoming increasingly disgruntled with how the government is handling the COVID-19 crisis as details emerge, including the death a 29-year-old man who became the U.S.
territory’s youngest victim after his father said he wasn’t tested the first two times he sought help at an emergency room. The allegation was made as the government announced Saturday that a private company took responsibility for disconnecting a refrigerated trailer packed with food that was supposed to be distributed to those in need amid a two-month lockdown to curb coronavirus cases, causing chicken, vegetables, fruits and other items to spoil. “This is completely unacceptable,” said Public Safety Director Pedro Janer.
