We're heading in the wrong direction...again! I had jury duty last Friday at a Justice Court. Upon entry of course they scan your purse and have you walk through a metal detector to keep us safe. Yet no mask requirement during a pandemic that has already killed one million Americans. I did not feel safe at all. 
At one point there were about 60 of us in one small room. Only a very few people were wearing masks, maybe 6 of us. About 1/3 of the people were taken into a courtroom for voir dire. The rest of us stayed in the original room but were free to walk around in the hallways or step outside. I was on the end in the front row which I felt was better than being in the middle surrounded by people. I just sat there for most of the 3 1/2 hours talking to the man next to me. He is 79 years old, had just begun radiation treatment for cancer, and was not wearing a mask. 
The woman behind me had a sneezing fit. After about the 6th sneeze she finally got up and went out into the hallway. Thankfully they selected a jury from the first group so I don't have to go back. Now I'm counting the days hoping not to have contracted COVID while doing my civic duty. I'm vaccinated and boosted and was wearing one of the N95 masks that President Biden had had sent to stores. I felt it was safer than my other N95s that I've been wearing when I go grocery shopping. It was a good, tight fit but comfortable. I had lines on my face from it for 7 hours after taking it off. LOL Today is day five of the 10-14 days they say are the average limits for incubation.
