Pregnancy and Covid

[AsherO]

I wouldn't be so sure it will ultimately happen, perhaps via human-animal-human transmission.

Are animals transmitting COVID to humans right now? I think it was highly unusual and only happened once from a bat in Wuhan...

If that

[Mordyk]

Seeming more and more likely that COVID will be similar to the flu in that we'll get an annual vaccine that tries to guess the dominant variants...

But until then?

Knowing a few stories first hand it's quite nerve-wracking to go through the process for 9 months...

[AsherO]

If that

Hence the ellipsis....

I don't think we're going to know more anytime soon.
Need to live life, take precautions, daven, and have emuna+bitachon.

Yes minks were demonstrated to transmit to humans, and those strains were transmittable from human to human.

I think everyone agrees with all that,
the question just is the order of priority

I'd be very surprised if any Rabbis or Doctors would say to avoid getting pregnant now.

I was just trying to say that the differences in how to act in regards to Corona In general has to do with which of those has priority over the other

Would be interesting to know if doctors would advise to wait before getting pregnant now...

"The man from the house of Levi went...” (Exodus 2:1) – he “went” at the advice of his daughter. Amram was the head of the Sanhedrin and when he saw that Pharaoh was throwing the Jewish boys into the Nile, he said: “Why bring children into the world for nothing?” He separated from his wife and all the men in the generation followed his example.

His daughter, Miriam, said: “Father, your decree is worse that Pharaoh's. He only decreed against the males, and you've decreed against males and females. He only decreed death in this world, and you've decreed both in this world and in the next. Pharaoh is evil, and chances are that his decree will not come to fruition, yet you are righteous – surely your decree will come about!”

Amram listened and reunited with his wife, and all the men followed his example and reunited with their wives."

I agree 100%  and I think at this point everyone is shifting to more and more emunah and less and less precautions    which I'm more than happy. 

But women can still be more emotional or concerned. More emotional,  less logical.   Haven't you read Men are from Mars?

Or using emunah as an excuse for less precautions, even if it's not real.

That too

[YitzyS]

or looking at @Mordyk's avatar and throwing all caution to the wind...

[AsherO]

Why can’t you have both, a lot of emuna and a lot of precaution?

Sounds like you only read the Women are from Venus part.

IME, the great miracle of Covid is the unprecedented emunah. Unfortunately, it's usually limited to Covid-related issues.
