Unrelated rant: Someone please explain to me how does COVID precisely delay things? It has become blanket excuse for anything and everything. I'd like step-by-step, minute-by-minute timeline on how exactly the risk of COVID delays things by days. I used to give this thing some leeway and benefit of doubt, but my default stance these days is that it is bullshit. Restroom closed? Because COVID. Fan not working in the office? COVID. Hiking trail fenced off? COVID. I can understand if someone is sick because of literally any disease or illness, we'd just make that an exception, not the norm.

  Pretty much all of this is normal. Flights are operating. Traffic is flowing albeit gas prices are high. How exactly does it affect judges and the staff to move people? and so on?

    I don’t know what you’re asking. I feel like I answered it. If you don’t have enough staff … you don’t. Surely you’ve experienced situations where staffing impacted things…

      Unemployment rate is back to normal: https://www.google.com/search?q=unemployment+rate https://www.google.com/search?q=unemployment+rate We can debate small perturbations and shifts in employment, but I am not at all convinced this is the reason for majority of the COVID excuses. Especially for a judicial process where people's employment is pretty much secure and hasn't had that much of an impact. Nurses? Sure. Package delivery? I can give them the benefit of the doubt. I see a disproportional number of things are out of order because of COVID. We can act in good faith for a while, but to me it has started to raise my cynicism.

        The article makes it pretty clear this all happened amidst the worst of COVID, restrictions and not when you're googling.

We moved during COVID. We called the city (Berlin) to collect bulky waste, they won't because of COVID. They were collecting other waste though.
