Will corona virus cause a baby boom, or is that just a myth? Prepare for jokes, if not babies!

someone said to me... those that are dying in this crises ...

a new child is born... thinking maybe they are right ...

I don't know why when there's a long power outage, or any other thing where people are cooped up together for a while, the only thing they can do is have sex..
Seems that way...as they don;t correlate a "baby boom" to any other random period when there's nothing wrong.

In a extended power outage, sure, it's dark, no TV or radio (I'm showing my age)...can;t cook..I can see dull, boring people being supremely bored and can't think of anything else to do...sad...
But, he**..my late husband and I were without power for 5 days when the flood in Nashville happened.
(we were no where near water..it was a substation that was flooded)
We couldn't go anywhere, all three directions at the bottom of the ridge roads were water covered..
We did fine, read..walked...I don't think we had sex any more during that time than any other.

But, now?
No disruptions in electricity..TV and internet and all that stuff works just fine...
I can't imagine anyone thinking there's nothing else to do but f**k.
There's yard work, gardening, working around the house, innumerable hobbies, reading, crafting, tinkering in one's shop..etc...

Now people are home with their children, so I don't think they want more.

Maybe separations of couples and more divorces after the pandemic.
