Look some Repubs are, but most of The Demoncrats are close to 80 years old and have spent decades in Congress, so them not wanting to be there and chance the whoohan flu is quite reasonable...HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

"Though the form members sign when planning to vote by proxy says that they are doing so because of the "ongoing public health emergency," there have been several instances of people taking liberties, and even Republicans who have disparaged the practice have made use of it.
But the worst offenders have been House Democrats. Through mid-April, Rep. Al Lawson (D-FL) was one of three lawmakers who had solely voted via proxy this year. That even surpassed Rep. Kai Kahele, a first-term Hawaii Democrat who this spring came under fire in his home state after the Honolulu Civil Beat reported on his prolonged absence from the Capitol.
The other two proxy voting-only House members through mid-April, Reps. Lucille Roybal-Allard (D-CA) and Albio Sires (D-NJ), are retiring after the 2022 elections, so their avoidance of the House floor is understandable, if not necessarily justifiable. However, Lawson is trying to run again, with his Florida Panhandle district stuck in legal limbo in a court fight over redistricting between state Democrats and GOP Gov. Ron DeSantis."
