Questions/Issues Discussed:

Can a Corona-positive person who does not want to self-quarantine demand a jury trial? What actions can the government take to keep an infected person quarantined?

How are the courts preparing for imposed quarantines? Dan recalls he tuberculosis case he oversaw…

How would the jury/judge/others be medically protected if an infected person insists on a jury trial?

Remember: You may not think you’ll be infected with the Coronavirus, but someone you come in contact with could die from exposure and infection. Stay home. Watch TV. Read books. Do puzzles. Homeschool your kids (and keep doing it!) Order take-out or learn to cook a new dish. Go for a walk (keeping distance from others!) And only go to the store for essential items.
