Must be another #COVID wave sweeping thru Te Whanganui-a-Tara, the #Metlink notifications about reduced services due to staff availability have started.This is definitely our local version of the "Yankee candle 1 star review" canary-in-the-coalmine.

A new raft of #Metlink notifications about reduced capacity on the #KPL line due to staff availability this morning too.Going to assume that means that we're not yet thru the peak of #COVID cases here in #TeWhanganuiATara, as these notifications seem to precede spikes in wastewater results by a week or two 🙄

And the #Metlink "Reduced services due to staff availability" notices have started arriving again.Belt up #TeWhanganuiATara - another #COVID wave is clearly inbound

Last two days, the usual 4 car train has been a three car train. But with no announcements about reduced capacity.We're into Schrödinger's plague at this point. Maybe it's another #COVID wave? Maybe it's #Pertussis? Maybe it's just sparkling #Capitalism? 🤷‍♂️

Last two days have also had reduced capacity notifications for #Metlink - although it's hard to know if that's because of #COVID (there's definitely a huge spike in Wellington wastewater results currently), staff on summer leave, a response to reduced passenger numbers due to them being on summer leave, or something else.I would hazard a guess at COVID, as the other two should be fairly predicatable based on previous years

And I've just had the third (maybe fourth?) cancellation alert of a service "due to staff availability" this week.With Poops.NZ not having updated in 3 weeks, I've no idea if there's another #COVID wave (like Vietnam and Singapore are currently experiencing, so quite possibly) or if it's something else this time ...

Yet more cancellations due to staff availability from #Metlink on the #KPL.The cycle repeats with no mitigations in place. It's so depressingly predictable. 🙄#COVIDIsNotOver

Four notifications already this morning (it's only 0617) about train cancellations and reduced seating on the #KPL due to staff sickness. That #Metlink "Yankee Candle" yardstick for #TeWhanganuiATara is as reliable as ever...#COVIDIsNotOver
