No Time to Die... from COVID-19

[Labster]

I'm afraid I'm going to be even less helpful Labster. The doctor has no say in it.

Now, IIRC she could ask the judge to let her pass for medical reasons, and with her poor immune system and the aftermath of a pandemic sweeping through the nation I can see that working. But she might also be told to do her duty as citizen and sit as a member of the jury.

I'm afraid you simply have no knowledge of California law with regards to juries.

Labster, what "Miri Scenario" are you talking about? All I find searching for it is references to something put out by the Machine Intelligence Research Institute about the possibility of a hostile AI developing, which doesn't connect well to the current situation unless China is doing an implausibly phenomenal job at covering up work in that direction that's a decade or more beyond everyone else, instead of having been crowing about it (or various cherry-picked aspects of it) to make political hay.

Pretty sure this is the situation in the question.

Exactly right.  It's only one step better than a Helvetica Scenario.
