Soo it looks like I'm getting a jury summons. Normally, I would happily go do my civic duty. But in the times of covid, can I get out of it for homeschooling the kids? Claim sole care provider? I really don't want to go sit in the courthouse with people. And we aren't even seeing family right now so H would have to take a day off of work for this. If we could be a jury via zoom that would be fantastic. 🤣 I don't think so, unless you could prove extreme financial hardship. OH is pretty strict about it 😔 You could probably try calling though and see what they say. Ugh. I have done jury duty before and would gladly do it again, without covid. I will call and find out how its all happening. I would assume they will be spacing us out? Or I wonder if I can get out of it because of my heart condition and claim high risk?

There’s a presser at 2:00 today. Welp. I guess I'll tune in and then get mad when it's all fluff.

I’ve been summoned twice (pre-covid) since my kids were born and I’ve always been able to write in saying I’m their care provider bc we didn’t have any day care. It hasn’t been an issue. I would definitely try! Were your kids under a certain age? I think its maybe 5 or some shit that they will allow that. I forget.

Jury duty rules are county specific. But my SIL got out of it by stating she was a stay at home mom.

I'm just lurking creepily. You can claim care provider, their teacher and also your business because you work for yourself and if you have work that day you won't get paid if you go to jury duty and you don't have a substitute. That's my state and should be similar

That's my state and should be similar I didn't know if self employed would work since I don't work in the winter time. I'm waiting for the mail to run so I can see when its for.

He is talking very fast today. All business. Explaining the antigen tests and the skyrocket in cases and them getting behind.

Currently 12600 antigen tests in our pending queue. Starting tomorrow they will be following CDC guidelines that say they can be counted in our case counts without needing to be verified so we will have a significant one day surge tomorrow.

In coming weeks they will be counted in our positivity rate as well. You will be able to break it down on the website by pcr, antigen, or combined. Daily dashboard counts will default to combined.

Seems like a waste of his time too The only thing I can think of with this one is that they are clearing out 12k cases tomorrow so trying to avoid a huge panic when that all hits on one lump.
