With most of the Western world forced into #stayathome quarantine over the COVID pandemic, could we see a new 'baby boom' this winter, nine months after the shutdown that covered most of the Americas and Europe?
Young men and women sheltered in place with "nothing to do" has always seemed to be a recipe for an increase in sexual activity. With 315,000 estimated worldwide deaths (source: New York Times) which seem to be largely the elderly and health-compromised, will the world be quickly replacing the lost with toddlers in 7-10 months?
The answer is likely "yes" but not necessarily so. Feminists, health organizations and Planned Parenthood have drummed into this generation a different ethos to having children. The schools have been trying to convert as many kids (particularly white boys) to homosexuality or transgenderism as possible.
Birth rates in Europe and North America have been in steady decline causing some world leaders to seek to replace them with African, Middle Eastern and Asian refugees in order to maintain levels of cheap labor. It would seem these will be the likeliest source of new births.
Then again, maybe women are convinced that all men are rapists or babies are too expensive and make them fat, etc. etc. and they simply don't want to be mothers until their biological clocks start ringing in their mid-30s.
It's complicated. I think the women from simpler (some would say 'backwards') societies would be most inclined to have more children right now.
I heard that divorce lawyers have had clients cancel divorce proceedings because couples, after being forced to be together, decide to try to work things out.
Baby boomers, Gen X, Y, Millenials, and in 13 years...

my Son and DiL just announced they’re expecting their 1st in late December. they’re both teachers and have been working from home since march
I hope so... but when Deplorable Jr. graduate college, I’d be 82. Deplorable wife will only be 59.
LOL. I was thinking of "WuBabies" or "Fauci Babies" or "Corona Kids".
Ohhhh, that’s really funny! ;-) Thanks for the chuckle.
Need to replace all the 90,000 people lost to the virus. This is nature—the other end of the fear—sex and procreation.
