Cruising to Covid
So we have at least one new variant of Covid19 that is affecting a large number of people world wide and causing yet another burst of sufferers.
And Wellington has opened its doors to large cruise ships to visit with the "season's" first of 100-odd arriving here yesterday (Tuesday). Well, the weather was lousy for the 3000-odd passengers but so were these same passengers for us Wellingtonians as at least 5% of them carried with them Covid with many others either not relaying that they had Covid or don't know if they did.
Get real this is the now not the past some people will say. Look at the financial benefits for us they would say.
Weta Workshops and Te Papa had a busy old day. Presumably even Brewtown in Upper Hutt on a Tuesday was fully open for business.
I might suggest that "ordinary" local residents keep a schedule of Cruise ship visits and try and keep away from where the tourists might frequent.
Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
