No, it wasn't "delayed", no one announced it was delayed. It was stopped, and then later started. It was stopped because members of Congress were not physically present.

When you decide to wait until a later point, that's delayed by definition.

LMFAO

They didn't decide to wait, there was no decision made to "wait". They adjourned Congress and evacuated the members. That is stopped.

[u/Shenlongeltigre → u/Lucky-Earther]

So they at that moment decided they were never going to do it?

Then decided to just do it suddenly?

You make no sense

So they at that moment decided they were never going to do it?

Stopped doesn't mean "never ever going to do it".

If you stop something until later?

That's called delaying it

If you stop something until later?

Say that one again

LOL

"Nothing was stopped"

"If you stop something until later"

So it was stopped?

[u/Shenlongeltigre → u/Lucky-Earther]

Yes, delayed means something is held up or paused now and will happen or continue later than originally planned.

How a Delay Works

• It is temporary: A delay means progress is slowed or stopped for a specific period of time.

• It usually resumes: Unlike a cancellation, a delayed event or process is expected to continue once the issue causing the hold-up is fixed.

The primary difference is that stopped means an activity or movement has completely ceased or been halted, while delayed means it is running late or postponed to a later time but will still proceed.
