Babies aside, there maybe more divorces or breakups because couples will spend most of their time together. Fighting for chores, kids responsibilities or increasing financial pressures during this outbreak.
Just a heads up, This kind of things are already happening in China. You may want to think hard and get prepared for your family.

> The relationship between high-mortality events and future fertility patterns is well-established in the academic literature. Previous academic literature has shown that high-mortality events as diverse as famines, earthquakes, heatwaves, and disease all have very predictable effects on reducing births nine months later.

If you are a couple living together, it may increase your chances to make more babies. Especially if you are not allowed to get out to buy some protective gear (;

I wonder how this crisis and lockdown will affect dating and future birth rates.
