My roof is still leaking and I have a huge hole in my ceiling. The insurance company is unable to to get someone out here until Wednesday because there are so many insurance claims.
Did the roof develop the hole only when it started leaking?

Like so many things repairs on infrastructure were put off on the basis "We don't need to fix it today." Which leads to so many deaths you would think they have learned to fix it before the crisis.
