the first wave's bed shortage was solved with significant shutdowns in combination with the weather getting hotter and we're not getting that this time. not to mention regular flu season is coming. looks bad, folks

    my cousin is a physician's assistant who was working at a major university hospital right when the pandemic started. she was one of the first to get cut, and they've only fired more staff since then.

    now she's working full-time hours for part-time pay at a separate COVID clinic and they're starting to get swamped. crazy shit.
