Will coronavirus cause a baby boom?

Doctors say they see baby booms after natural disasters and sports team wins — and now some of them are predicting a coronavirus baby boom.

With many young people finding themselves with no choice but to stay in as bars and restaurants close, an entire nation opting for "Netflix and chill" could mean a spike in births this December, Dr. Kevin Kathrotia of Millennium Neonatology told FOX Business.

"It’s going to happen. It’s probably going to be the biggest baby boom we’ve seen," said Kathrotia, who is based in North Carolina. "Anytime there’s the threat of a hurricane, there’s a little baby boom."

"Everyone’s at home," he continued. "Those already with kids are less likely to have a kid, but those married without kids — there’s going to be kids in nine months, I can assure you."
