Highest of what?

"The virus then spread rapidly through the Navajo Nation to the point that the Navajo have the highest per capita rate of infection in the United States."

The highest among all the Native American reservations in the US? Or the highest of all the states and all the Native American reservations? The highest of the three entities (Navajo Nation and the states of New York and New Jersey) listed in one of the sources? Or the highest of an arbitrarily picked set of entities that comprises the 50 states plus the Navajo Nation (which would warrant a completely different wording of the entire statement)? Or something else entirely? — Smjg (talk) 18:29, 16 July 2020 (UTC)

Just realised more sources have been added, and The Hill confirms what's essentially the fourth of these points, so I've now rewritten the second half of this sentence to state this coherently. — Smjg (talk) 18:40, 16 July 2020 (UTC)
The sources were in the article already. Cheers. The Rambling Man (Stay indoors, stay safe!!!!) 18:43, 16 July 2020 (UTC)
OK, so they're added citations to sources already cited elsewhere in the article. Point taken. — Smjg (talk) 18:53, 16 July 2020 (UTC)
