This is actually very plausible. The hospitals make more money from Covid patients, but they also lost a shit ton of money by clearing out and shutting down elective surgeries in the beginning. Also add to that PPE shortages and a crippled economy due to shut downs. Add in an over worked skeleton crew because people were furloughed and/or quit before shit started opening back up which contributes to a revolving door of under qualified staff (people get fed up and leave, replaced by someone dragged off the street and dazzled by the incentive pay that’s now available) and you have a dysfunctional system.

Edit: the tweets are actually mostly correct, but for the wrong reasons. People don’t come in but because they’re scared of Covid and don’t treat the other diseases affecting them.
