Question is if the effect will last or if the birth rate will start climbing due to COVID-19. Then it might have been good short-term but really bad long-term.

- toyg 6y ago>if the birth rate will start climbing due to COVID-19 Shifts in birth rates of developed countries are a drop in the ocean of global birth rates. "Developed" lives have a heavier ecological footprint, but it all pales in comparison to the shifts resulting from increased industrialisation of developing countries. Depressing demand for industrial goods and services (because of lockdown) is bound to have a much bigger impact than making a few kids more or less.
