Last week, I pulled jury duty during this pandemic. Ugh. [View all]

The thought of being in a Hennepin County court room with a couple dozen people made my stomach drop. I lost sleep over this.

Luckily, one can postpone for any reason for 9 months.

Also, Minnesota courts just suspended trials and in-person hearings for 2 months

Read the article from my perspective, an older person, summoned for duty. While the hospitals are filling up and the virus is spreading like wildfire.

The air filtration in the court was rated high risk.

They aren't screening for COVID.

Retired judges were willing to help with backlog of cases, but not in person, because what elderly person would want to be indoors at this time?

Jurors were willing to serve up to 3 weeks ago, but now with the surge in COVID, were less willing to serve.

No shit sherlock.

STRESSSSSS!
