I believe that Congress is considering the idea of virtual meetings. When the Congressman insisted on a quorem call for the recent funding vote, the majority of the House Members were not all present in their seats at the same time. They can maintain distance and enter and leave the chamber to vote.

In many of the cases where they speak to the House or Senate, few can be seen if they pan the audiance, which they rarely do. My point is, they can conduct business without being present most of the time, as long as they can come in and vote during the time allowed, which is usually pretty substantial.

Frankly it's foolish that they don't permit voting from a virtual meeting which could be set up, permit them to speak and vote without contact with many people. As we know, several of these people have been exposed, and some are suffering with coronavirus. They can pass measures by acclimation without all being present, but we've seen Congressmen trying to obstruct that making a quorem call. Clearly acclimation is only possible if both political parties agree on an issue.
