No, The Wuhan Virus Won’t Cause A U.S. Population Decline

I would suspect, with all the sheltering at home, there is about to be a population boom.

[Pearls Before Swine]

Not only a population bump in December, but also, since the virus preferentially hits the old, a lowering of the average population age. New souls for old.

Um that sub heading nearly 3 million die each day should be changed to each year. If it were a day the US population would be wiped out in less than 4 months.

If you have to stay six feet away from others, its kinda hard to impregnate your woman.

[Savage Beast]

Yes, lots of people confined to home with nothing much to do.

[polymuser]

Agree. More babies and fewer Boomers from this.

[libertylover]

I thought these leftists want the earth’s population to be about 1/4 of what it is now in order to be “sustainable”.

[DugwayDuke]

After past pandemics, the birth rate has accelerated making up for the decline in short time fram.

Adding a city the size of Philadelphia in just one year hardly means we are on the cusp of a decline in population, as The New York Times article suggests. A recent news article by Sabrina Tavernise in The New York Times warned U.S. population growth has slowed so much that the Wuhan virus might tip the country into population decline this year

Non-sense. The total U.S. deaths for the first three weeks of March was down 10% from the average of the prior four years for the same three week period. (https://veritaspac.com/2020/04/09/us-death-rate-lower-overall-during-pandemic-march)

In addition, wait until you see the birh rate next Sept.-Oct.

If you have to stay six feet away from others, its kinda hard to impregnate your woman. Well, exceptions are allowed (and make sure you are married) for, while people are to be avoided overall, Fauci allows fornication regardless of the massive STD rate:

“If you’re swiping on a dating app like Tinder, or Bumble or Grindr, and you match...." "that’s what’s called relative risk....If you’re willing to take a risk...you could figure out if you want to meet somebody,” said Fauci, - http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3836174/posts

That's why I can't figure out why Lefties like Gates wants a vaccine.

He's a huge proponent of lowering the population....well, except maybe when it comes to buying his products.

Um that sub heading nearly 3 million die each day should be changed to each year. If it were a day the US population would be wiped out in less than 4 months.

That mistake jumped out at me also...makes me wonder what else they got wrong.

[Dilbert San Diego]

We will see over the next year, if we see a spike in births. Stay tuned.

[meadsjn]

We should have quite a baby boom in 8 or 9 months.

[euram]

they’re just worried that we don’t have enough illegal aliens flooding in to more rapidly tilt the vote permanently in favor of the democrats. They are also worried that they might have to pay gardeners, maids, and nannies more.

[Wuli]

Actually, I have wondered if we will see a small “baby boom” beginning in December 2020 through early 2021 - due to all the “lock downs”.

[Vermont Lt]

Maybe when I was 18.....

[sphinx]

Population decline? At its current daily rate, COVID-19 is still killing fewer people than the abortion industry, and liberals want to boost the latter number.

[yesthatjallen]

A recent news article by Sabrina Tavernise in The New York Times warned U.S. population growth has slowed so much that the Wuhan virus might tip the country into population decline this year. It is the latest in a string of articles, editorials, and columns recently that mislead the public about the nation’s demographic future.

Told ya so.

Everyone was predicting this coronavirus would be the end of globalism. I said it would be an opportunity for the globalists.

While the average man and woman are considering common sense solutions to stopping future pandemics such as controlling borders and immigration and reconsidering trade and manufacturing the globalists are writing their new narrative.

'The coronavirus proves western nations are going to have to compensate for population loss by increasing immigration and allowing the free-flow of people. We need a strong centralized body to facilitate 'safe' trade and free movement of people'.

Evil never rests.
