I guess laws vary from state to state. I was under the impression that a proper doctor's note, should be enough to automatically exempt someone from jury duty.
I agree we have to be our own advocates, as you aptly said. The lack of consistency and coordination from one place to another is what worries me. It's actually making everyone else's efforts moot. As an example: No travelers from Italy allowed in the US they said....then college students drove a car from Italy to Switzerland and flew in from Zurich! They weren't even screened.
I just heard from a friend who is a FEMA engineer. He has been living and working in Puerto Rico on account of the recent earthquake damage there. He tells us that a cruise ship docked in San Juan, where one passenger was removed and quarantined with test results pending. In the meantime, some 700 passengers were allowed to get off the same ship, where they proceeded to go shopping, sightseeing, eating in local restaurants etc....!?@#!! Possibly carrying the Covid-19! Our FEMA friend is livid....As if the citizens of Puerto Rico don't already have enough on their plate!
The combined stupidity of the cruise line captain along with local authorities looking the other way to boost local business.....what could possibly go wrong?
