They put off on voting on this before the election to focus on Covid legislation.
The congress is more than capable of doing multiple things at once.
The house passed covid relief bill in June and then again in October. What more do you want from them? It takes two to negotiate
The House and Senate are, in fact, in heavy negotiations on a bipartisan ~$1T COVID aid package that apparently Pelosi and McConnell have both agreed should be attached to the spending bill nevesy to avoid a government shutdown. It's not like the House (or Senate) can only work on one bill at a time.
We sure could reduce a lot of unnecessary spread by having people no longer physically moved in and out of police cars, jails, courthouses, and prisons for no good reason.
The government is capable of multi-tasking. There are talks going on for continuing stimulus. Vaccines are now approved by the CDC and will roll out shortly. Plus, state & local governments are continuing to provide updates on the status of their hospitals.
COVID-19 is still a dedicated category on Google News, and other news sites. Nobody is ignoring it.
It's impossible to do more than one thing at a time?
Yup. The Senate is a Single Input Queue.
The house isn't the branch of government holding up the stimulus. McConnell has been sitting on a stimulus bill since July.
