In this bit5 moments
  • A respiratory therapist on Long Island describes the pandemic with complete uncertainty about what the virus kills, when it will end, or if it will improve.
  • Tim notes the therapist was honest about flying by the seat of their pants, and the only certainty offered was that the crisis would last about a year.
  • Tim declares 2020 is legitimately over with nothing left to salvage, predicting the damage will take months and years to recover from.
  • Asked if he's scared, Tim says he's fine, prompting the observation that his evangelical Christian upbringing has conditioned him to expect death.
  • Tim's take: evangelical Christians are almost wishing for the end times whether they admit it or not.
