Good for him.

The Senate has been doing this pro-forma nonsense my entire life. If they're going to claim to be in session, then they need to discuss the things that the President and the House send to them in a timely manner.  They don't.  They do none of their jobs.  I don't know if having a do-nothing Senate is a symptom of our national lethargy, or a cause, or both, but it should bother everyone who wants America to be great.

The best solution is for all 100 of them to repent, and start to vigorously discuss things on the floor and voting in a timely fashion. While the virus is around, set up a system where they all meet in 10 or 12 different rooms.  If CBS can start with 22 players and 4 coaches with 15 cameras and turn it all into a coherent presentation in real time, someone can do the same thing for the US Senate.

And if they won't stand up for themselves and do that, then President should get every recess appointment he wants.
