I've wondered about that.  I recall an article by someone purporting to know about such things.  They suggested that we needn't be worried about alien viruses because they would have evolved in a world with no humans and no creatures anything like humans.  Therefore they couldn't have evolved the means to infect human cells and use them to multiply.

.....but until we meet an alien virus we won't know what one looks like.

I wonder what viruses will be brought back from Mars.    Globalization brings its own set up problems, travel to and from other planets could also bring some new challenges to us that are bigger than this virus.  Everyone would need to go through an Austin Powers level de-contamination process before they can come back into society 😊

I actually saw a prediction that with lower birthrate and blocking immigration, this country is headed for the population actually shrinking for probably the first time ever.  And I think that prediction was before the virus hit. I think the 2008 recession caused lower rate of family formation, home ownership, and yes procreation.

If I were at the age where you decide to “start a family”, I’m not sure I’d decide to bring someone into the world right now.  Wait and see what life post apocalypse looks like.  I wouldn’t be surprised if some people were freezing eggs and stuff.  Or signing up with SpaceX for that Mars colony.

I was trying to be funny.   I should know by now I am not that good at it 😊

I would suspect the opposite would happen.

Or are you assuming that exam gloves aren’t the only protection in short supply?

That would mean couples aren’t practicing good social distancing habits in their homes.
