Starting this November or December? With all the shelter in place orders out now, I am betting that come next November and certainly by December births will spike. Only so much binge watching TV a couple can do. And it won't just be confined to the United States. I'm betting that Italy and China will gain back all the lives lost to covid-19. What say you?

I've been saying for a while now that if hospitals can't cope now, wait till you see the maternity wards at Christmas.

For us single guys, well, now you understand the rush on toilet paper.

God no. Although actually, I pity the poor bastard.

Met the ex the other day, her hands were one continuous sheet of scratches from her knuckles half way to her elbows. I mean, there wasn't a patch of skin 5mm square without a claw mark through it. She was so desperate for attention that she'd been up at 4am tweaking the hateball's tail just to get someone or something to notice her. There's no love lost between me and Pissy-Cat, but that's not cool.

Dodged a bullet there. {boxed}

Oh dear. That lady needs to get away from negative influences and get some help.

Though there may be some unexpected arrivals, there are also a lot of young couples in the usual age category currently separated by isolation and geographical issues. In all likelihood a lot of teenagers are about to get baby siblings from their otherwise distracted parents. I also suspect 'Covid' is about to become quite popular as a middle name...
A million great ideas...

Yes, but if she keeps isolating she's never going to give this to her mother {mischief}

And a lot of girls called Corona.

Well, that didn't take long...

India newborn twins named Corona and Covid after virus

The names may be memorable to the family but as you say, I hardly doubt they will be unique. I'd be willing to go so far as to say that those two name may well lead the list of baby names in 2021.

Small numbers, but: https://yle.fi/uutiset/osasto/news/hels ... y/11318029

One-third more couples decided to permanently part ways in early April compared to the same period last year, according to data from the Helsinki District Court.

Altogether the court received 99 divorce petitions during the past two weeks compared to one year ago when 69 couples decided to split up for good.

Shame there is no statistic about how many parents are currently being forced to realize that little Timmy didn't struggle in school just because the teachers didn't challenge or support him enough. {mischief}

Quite the opposite. I can see a lot of teachers losing their jobs in the near future as governments realise just how little they actually do and how easy it is for supposedly unqualified parents to deliver a better standard of education with relative ease.

Or how many kids attention span is quite normal and don't need tranquilizer drugs if they are just let out to burn off some energy every few hours.

Not in this house, solved that problem 26 years ago.

If it happens, there's a dead mailman somewhere . . . . . and I probably did it.
