COVID-19 & US healthcare system

[DHBirr]

So, I hear on the radio that the US Senate is deadlocked on a relief bill - with a vote of 47-47.

That means (almost) all the senators showed up to vote.

WHAT THE FUCK, US SEANTE???

EVERY OTHER LEGISLATIVE CHAMBER IN THE WORLD IS PRACTICING PHYSICAL DISTANCING AND SENDING ONLY A BARE QUORUM INTO THE CHAMBER TO PASS NECESSARY LEGISLATION!!!

I hope every single person who was in the chamber is now in two-week quarantine.

Speaking of which, Rand Paul got tested, on doctor's advice, on the 16th.  It turns out, he was  infected ... and for a week after the test he'd gone about his Senatorial bullsh— errrr, I mean "business," as usual.  How much of the Senate needs to be locked down now?
