Tim imagines a prank call to Chris Cuomo where a fake pulmonologist tells him to do the running man and blackface to scare off the racist virus, playing out an absurd doctor's orders bit.
- Tim's doctor told him to fight the virus actively, not wait it out—breathe deep when it hurts, layer up, drink fluids.
- Nobody has any clue what's actually going on with the coronavirus, despite all the official guidance.
- Tim catalogs the contradictory claims: soap doesn't work, ventilators make it worse, hand sanitizer might spread it.
- Scare-mongering articles claim the virus travels 13 feet, but nobody knows if those particles are actually infectious.
- On the Diamond Princess cruise ship, only 17 percent contracted the virus—which Tim uses to argue the detected particles were just RNA, not infectious material.
- Tim visited Taco Bell during lockdown and realized the government claiming fast food is safe while saying everything else is dangerous just wants poor people to die.
- Everything poor people do is now considered safe: drive-throughs, sex work on buses, selling items on the street—all supposedly safe from COVID if it means avoiding stimulus spending.
