David and Sarah: I am a state prosecutor, and we are beginning to grapple with the prospect of a prolonged period of social distancing. Specifically, we are considering how to impanel a jury while maintaining social distancing. Are you aware of good source material from the 1917-1918 influenza period, on how this was handled then? Or any other suggestions?
