I received a summons for jury duty next month. That once again made me glad I got my 2nd booster shot already. If I end up being selected for a jury, and if it's like last time where we had to spend hours together in a small room, discussing the case and having meals brought to us to eat in that same room...

I wonder what they would do if a jury member tested positive while a multi-day trial was still underway. Would they be excused? Would the jury member have to present a test stick showing the positive test as proof? I wonder if they are selecting more than the usual number of alternates for juries now because of that possibility.

I wonder what you're supposed to do if you get a positive test result right before the summons date. The summons letter doesn't mention anything about COVID or other illnesses. It says "Failure to appear at the address above at the specified time may subject you to penalties as prescribed by law."
