Tim rants about hospitals having nine months to prepare for a second wave and doing nothing, comparing it to being knocked down repeatedly by the same ocean wave, and riffing on nurses posting about stacking bodies and improvised PPE.
- Tim notes hospitals had nine months to prepare for the second wave and questions why there's no preparedness.
- Ocean wave analogy: if you keep getting knocked down the same way, that's called drowning, and adults should have some semblance of preparation.
- Tim asks why hospitals are still throwing bodies in a pit instead of being ready.
- Nurses on Facebook describe wearing masks fashioned from dead patients' faces and stacking bodies in parking lots.
- Tim wonders if the hospital made a deliberate decision not to prepare after knowing the second wave was coming.
- He complains about seeing relief bill promises followed by 'Save Our Stages' messaging while people die in El Paso's pit.
- Tim questions whether El Paso's pit has anything to do with corona or if that's just how their hospital normally operates.
- Escalating to absurdity: what's next, a fight club where corona patients battle for ventilators?
- Tim expresses genuine confusion about the lack of any planning for the pandemic ravaging the nation.
- Larger cities may have more resources because they have bigger tax bases, unlike ravaged small-town hospitals.
