I predict there will be many new babies 9 to 11 months from now. On average there are 340,000 births a month in the USA. I predict next Janurary and February there are close to 500,000 new babies.
On the lighter side of this virus. (We can all use some humor right)

You're right. They will be called Corona babies.
Then again, do you really want to get pregnant in the middle of a pandemic?

this board is a collection of clowns and imbeciles. 95% of the board couldn't tell me what time it was if i gave them a watch and you think they know the effects of the virus on a pregnant woman??
and yes, i include myself in on this..
They actually answered this on Good Morning America or one of the other shows this morning. The bottom line was that they did NOT know the answer because there has been so little research done. However, they did say that pregnancy does lowers the woman’s immune system ( I guess because she’s sharing it with the baby?????) so that a pregnant woman should be extra cautious during this pandemic.
I think pregnant women should be extra cautious with or without a pandemic.
And therein lies the rub. So much is not known about this virus, it's almost irresponsible to assume it acts like the common cold or the flu. Do healthy people living with asthma have a difficult time kicking it? We just dont know. We know a bunch of elderly chinese men that smoked their whole lives were hit especially hard. That's about it. I would rather this turn into overreaction similar to Y2K than we find out this virus truly does kill at a much higher rate than the regular flu.
sure, those babies born in 1569 (Hell, Magic Johnson did so well he joined another pandemic voluntarily) and 1969 have done great...the ones born in 1919 freed the world of Nazis and murderous Facists......
