My wife got a jury notice. She called and asked what the mask policy was, they said voluntary.

Based on that she asked for a deferal because of my health, the clerk was very nice and said she was way way down the list and probably wonā€™t have to come in. She said call every day and if sheā€™s told to come in call her back for the deferal.

Iā€™m sure sheā€™d be safe but masks should be required.

100%. Bad ventillation, close quarters, compulsory attendance, respondents skewed towards the elderly. No way masking should be optional for jury duty. That or allow teleconference. Iā€™m surprised they didnā€™t stick with virtual court, anyway. Seems like itā€™s a system that would be perfect for remote conference technology.

Of course North Dakota also introduced a bill to ban kids who donā€™t identify as human to be banned from school.

Iā€™d really hate living in a place like that, where also, whenever I went out with a mask on, Iā€™d worry about getting attacked for it.

I donā€™t get that photo, if those kids were wearing a mask she should have put a mask on for them.

In Idaho, itā€™s unclear if Nichols and Boyleā€™s bill will make it through the committee and, further, into law. However, its introduction fits into a worrying trend by conservative lawmakers for attacking lifesaving vaccination and evidence-based medicine, generally.

That sums it up pretty nicely. Anything more advanced than Bronze Age medicine is verboten.

Current state of research indicates that Neanderthals were much more caring about their sick and infirm than those numpties. And smarter.
