Virus disrupts pregnancy plans, raises anxiety and questions
- tareqak 7y agoI am actually worried about this issue from a slightly different angle: I think having a sufficiently large population being effectively home-bound for quarantine will result in a larger than expected amount of unplanned pregnancies later in the year. In addition, I am not sure if pregnancy tests and contraception will be considered to be an essential item with respect to timely delivery and restocking. Pharmacies remain open, but if people get worried all at the same time, then the just-in-time supply chain for these items may not prepared. Finally, there is the issue of having sufficient clinic and hospital beds for abortions and pregnancies respectively together with strained and overworked medical staff. As a slight aside, is there a resource / subreddit for people like myself to raise these sorts of issues with people who can investigate and affect change?
