It's a pandemic, and as far as i remember they didn't finalise a rule to allow senators to vote remotely[1]. I don't know if this is why Bernie missed it, but 3 other senators besides him missed it too.

That's very sad. One of the other absent Senators is in quarantine. The other 97 Senators seemed to have found a way to get there.
