Wrote: Wouldn't it make sense to move the general election to Nov 2021 ?   I now it won't happen but this really does seem to be the once in a lifetime event in which both parties should consider extending the election to the subsequent year.  I mean, think about everything that goes into an election ... convention, campaigning, voting booths, etc.

I think this is even more unique than having an election during a World War since this is a time period in which large groups cannot assemble AND everything needs to be maintained in a germ-free manner.

Not sure what made me think of this ... I guess it just seems weird that there may be a high speed expedited election campaign in our near future.  Let us just watch sports, relax and enjoy for the rest of the year.  I'm not ready for this.

Nope.

If people can stand in line while practicing "social distancing" while waiting to shop at Costco, Home Depot, Walmart, etc. they can most certainly do so at the polls.

As far as conventions or campaign rallies, again people have the choice to attend or not attend.

Do we go through this nonsense during cold/flu season?  Are the same people vulnerable to the Chinese Wuhan virus not vulnerable to the common cold/flu?
