Seattle Indian Health Board sourced and obtained masks and PPE in a little over a week, something Trump can't seem to get done. In such a small population, masks and equipment go a long, long ways, much further than in a white! hospital. Sometimes it pays to be Indian.
At a time when the federal government's response to the coronavirus epidemic has been frustratingly slow, the Seattle Indian Health Board and its allies have stepped in and up to solve their needs for themselves.

Seattle Indian Health Board recently needed to redirect personal protective equipment (PPE) from its dental supply after scaling down dental services in response to the COVID-19 crisis. The organization is still providing emergency dental care, while most of the dental staff take on various roles to support the clinic in its COVID-19 response... "
Thankfully the Indians had the
global connections to take care of their
local need. A small population can do that for some things, but not for everything.
BUT saying this is : "...
something Trump can't seem to get done" is not justified or remotely fair! HIS job isn't to take care of a local Indian population. His job is taking care of the whole country, and he has done more good for this country, domestic and foreign, than about the last 6-7 Presidents...
In contrast, the democrats and the media have lied, cheated and falsified anything they can to make him
look 'bad' including illegal warrants based on false information leaked by Obama supporters within the bureaucracy of the federal intelligence agencies. Courts have already ruled that what they claimed in the FISA warrants was insufficient and falsified in order to move Impeachment forward, even without substantial evidence to act. This was their partisan politics at it's worst !!!
The democrats even got upset and called Pres Trump racist when he first stopped flights from China ! Since when is stopping the spread of COVID-19 virus 'racist' ??? Thank God he stopped the flights or it would have been even worse !!!
So blame Communist China for withholding information for almost 2 months, and the democrats for adding nothing positive, just complaining, this and that was not done 'correctly'; trying to add things like student loans and Nat'l Endowment for the Arts to a COVID-19 Bill. Their items had nothing to do with the COVID virus!
It was NOT President Trump who delayed action. The Communists and socialists did that, which allowed the virus to spread further.
By the way those lines and shortages at the grocery and household stores is exactly what every socialized country runs into at one time or another. And notice the EU dropped Spain like a 'hot potato' medically and financially.
And yes sometimes it pays to be Indian...
Stay well, stay safe, and help keep others safe too!
