    Something to watch. Keep up all covid protections (premium masks, distancing, updated vaccinations, clean air, …) to prevent infections/reinfections and minimize risk of more cancer.

    haha, so my 7 weeks of radiation just ended, I restart ibrance in a few weeks, nyc goes to moderate covid level, (Manhattan has hovered around 50/100k cases for a while now) and now I am called for jury duty??? No way am I going into any building that doesn't require vaccinations AND masking!!!! I filled out the online questionnaire- basically I'm over 18 and not a criminal. How about I have stage 4 cancer, am on drugs that compromise my immune system,am the primary care for an 11 year old... no slots for those answers. I flat out REFUSE to go into the building to bring proof. I haven't been inside anywhere where vaccines/ masks aren't required. I don't do restaurants, stores... why would I do court houses?!

    Hope you can get out of jury duty. I’ve been called twice, and both times were right before I moved away.

    I got a doc to write me a note and got excused forever for me now since COVID. Our court took it here. We just sernt it to them and they said ok and took my name off the list. Worth a shot calling your MO office to see you can get one for you.

    dancemom: I am so with you!! There is no empty spot to put in your health issues? I got called in twice. The first time the Defense rejected me because I "looked too much like the victim" The second time it was settled out of court, or the defendant pleaded guilty. Can't recall other than I didn't have to go for jury selection. Over 65 you don't have to go. So I am free of such requests.

    I was called for jury duty earlier this year. On ours there was an online thing you could fill out & I just said I had terminal breast cancer & was on chemotherapy & would be unable to attend. I got the excusal email within hours.

    the paper questionnaire had a space to write any additional info, but I was stupid and thought I'd be efficient and do the online questionnaire, which did not allow for any extra info. I did write to an email address on their site...I hope to get an answer in 5 or 10 years.

    I may send in the paper questionnaire as well, although it will probably gum up the system.
