Not sure why you would think either the Doctors office (you agreed to your deductible) or the court would care (constitutional responsibility).
I do agree that Zoom has issues (I would not install their software on my computers, and since I was required to fill out the jurror form online, I used a computer that identifies itself with an OS that the are unlikely to support.
I was prepared to go to court, but followed the instructions of calling the day before. I know they are even trying to avoid capitol cases (woman was found locally, wanted in another state on a murder warrant. The other state didn't want her during covid) Murder there is no statue of limitations, where a lot of misdemeanors will get dropped.
