I didn't get a response on my concerns about mask wearing for jury duty next month so I emailed the court again.
After seeing Ben Carson’s performance during the previous administration I certainly wouldn’t choose him as my surgeon.
Most specialized physicians are affluent. Most like the current health care system and are afraid of socialized medicine. (I have found primary care doctors often like the idea of health care for all, and they are the lowest paid specialty.) Affluent individuals are more likely to favor Republican tax policies as well as health care policies. If you need highly specialized care and only want someone who agrees with you ideologically you would probably be out of luck.
Similarly, I suggest you not look too closely at the political views of the blue collar tradespeople coming out to your home or you might not find anyone to your liking.
Masks.

COVID-19 shows that the intervention tripled mask usage and reduced symptomatic SARS-CoV-2
infections, demonstrating that promoting community mask-wearing can improve public health.
If your county is like mine, you have to go the day of your appointed day and sit through the first part of the trial where they explain what the case is about. It says on the summons it's self that calling or e mailing for an excuse is not permitted. Then during the actual jury selection you can come forward with any issues and ask to be excused form jury duty. I had jury duty in July. It was being held in the gym of a school that had been built in the 1930's. I have Meniere's disease and severe hearing loss. Even with hearing aides, it was very very hard to hear what was being said because of the bad acoustics . I asked to be moved up closer. Still didn't help. I ended up getting excused, along with two other people who had hearing issues. So, you may have to go in the first day. We also have on the form a place where we can ask for a deferral . Just put another month that works better for you.
Let's hog all the vaccines for ourselves as boosters and just let them wear masks - or maybe let them eat cake. And you call me a troll.
I deferred last year not wanting to go in the middle of a pandemic.
This year masks went away but now like Freddy Krueger they're back. I would go if I didn't have to wear a mask for 8 hours. But my vaccination was pointless.
Finally got a response late last night that I need a letter from my doctor so I will see if I can get that.
Here in coronavirus central many people are getting third shots on the sly. They are just going to a cvs or Walgreens and saying they are getting their first shot.
we asked our Md, whom I trust completely, and she advised us to wait out full eight months. We are pretty physically fit and healthy and she recommended following the CDC guidelines. If we were first responders, had a medical condition, in the line of duty in a hospital or forced to begin big crowds it would be different.
Update on Florida, ICU’s are still full. Lines for testing and regeneron treatment. But at least we are not Texas where you can open carry guns without any training or permit and women cannot get an abortion after six weeks(when most don’t even know they are pregnant) even in cases of rape or incest, or for legitimate medical reasons. Of course, the well to do can just go to another state, but poor women, too bad so sad.
‘’I swear Abbot and DeSantis are doing all they can to do everything they can to promote death, except for the unborn (especially the poor) that they then will do anything they can to help them grow into healthy and well educated citizens.
I don't blame them at all, especially the older age group, though waiting might even produce more immunity. I would prefer not to keep getting boosters forever if I don't have to.
That the actual practical matter, which I still don't understand, gets obscured with weird moral posturing, we are no good to anyone if we keep having endless virus to deal with (talk about guaranteeing another Trump or something, never mind if it's New Orleans and hospitals are already overwhelmed and now they have hurricanes). And good to anyone, isn't really that I expect the U.S. to save the world, but come on if all is chaos, it's just a pure negative influence. It's hard to run a functional society under permanent virus. But maybe the problem is still largely the fairly large unvaccinated at all group.
I really don't get it, "I don't trust medicine so no vaccine for me, but please give me Regeneron". Wth. Why?Lines for testing and regeneron treatment.
