I have no answer here. Just throwing this out as an unintentional consequence of prolonged and massive quarantining and the strain it may eventually put on our societies.

What are your thoughts?

There is anecdotal evidence of blackouts and major winter storms leading to an uptick in births nine months later.

We should know by now. The lockdown began what?, three months ago? That's plenty enough time for womenfolk to know whether or not they are pregnant.

'Course, have they been able to go their ob/gyns?

I doubt it. Contraception is cheap and common.

I’m suspecting there will be as many divorces as newborns. I can’t imagine being home all day long with the same person day in and day out for weeks on end. She would drive me more nuts than I already am!

I think it will result in a divorce boom.

I think the left has been freaking out about this possibility and has been telling us all that the pandemic won’t result in a baby boom. In other countries, India for example, they say there is a pandemic baby boom underway. In this country the pandemic has resulted in a bit of sheltering-in-place musical chairs with various men angling to be housed with the woman of their choosing. There is pretty much one way that is going to end imo.

In our society, there will be an abortion boom. PP will be flush with cash in November.

IMO ... not so much.

Considder the demographics;

The ones that should be horny as hell aren't sure what they are.

The ones that know what they are, are not into white picket fences, Mom kitchens and Dad work,

Churches are not as full (imo) as they were during the blackout, so kids (I'm 72 ... yer all kids) haven't been taught the Godliness of family.

Prophylactics have been around so long, a lot of female bodies can't just switch into baby making mode (as I understand it),

... and finally, this thing has been a farce anyway ....we're not in the dark and without external entertainment (as in a blackout), so we've been able to entertain ourselves pretty good.


My two cents' worth.

Speaking only for my partner and myself, our libido has crashed due to our anger over the overreaction to COVID-19 and worry over our job security.

Now, we so happen to share the same political views in general and views on the shamdemic/plandemic in particular, so there is no tension between us on that account.

There really is no tension between us at all. We are just moody and tired.

I can’t imagine being in a relationship with someone who sees the situation differently than I do. I think it would cause a break up.

I hope so... but when Deplorable Jr. graduate college, I’d be 82. Deplorable wife will only be 59.
