It's not "alone" as the headline of the article claims. It isn't as if they are going to be sent to huts in the middle of the forest. It is simply without "visitors". There will still be medical staff.
You know who else is "alone" in the sense of having no visitors right now? Where I live, everyone who is in the hospital. No visitors to hospitals, period. So there are lots of people who are in pain and frightened who don't get the comfort of loved ones, it's hardly as if pregnant women are alone in this. Cry me a fucking river.

Well said. I was looking at a news story on MSN and there was a video with cows whining about not being able to use their 'birth plans.' Cry me a fucking river when you don't your have happy sunshiny birth experience with everyone hovering around you and waiting on you hand and foot.

Article about pregnant women and hospitals now
According to this article, new mothers are putting staff at risk because they are vulnerable to the virus. in the article, the last 3 paragraphs tell of the risk.

Makes me wonder if we might adapt to it over time. People call it the coronavirus, but coronaviruses are a particular class of viruses that also contain the virus that causes the common cold. I'd wager when what we now know as the common cold first struck humans, a lot of people died because it was new. This one is new to us, hence the "novel" name.
I also question the effectiveness of any treatment or vaccine we cook up because this virus is estimated to mutate about every two weeks (and there are at least eight separate strains of it floating around), so by the time a treatment is found for it, it may have mutated to the point where treatment/preventative measures are useless. I don't think it mutates nearly as much as the bug that causes colds, which is why we have no vaccine/treatment for that either.

Probably similar to the flu vaccine, in that they'll have to predict each year what likely strains will develop. The more accurate, the less likely it is that people who get the vaccine will get sick. The less accurate, the less the vaccine helps. I could see it being part of the regular round of annual inoculations, once there is a vaccine. But yeah, vaccines of this type offer far less certainty than, say, the vaccine for polio.

Because of one selfish asshole, an entire ward of staff, women and newborns were exposed to coronavirus and I'm sure many patients will get infected now too. Sounds like he may have had symptoms first and exposed his wife, who showed symptoms after coming home from the hospital.

We all know how the news is reluctant to identify someone as a parent if the person has done something wrong, but their status as a parent is mentioned in the first sentence if the person has done something good. I wonder who would be higher on the news totem pole if a moo and/or baby died. Would the duh be vilified? Would the coverage of the baby play it off like a tragedy, with no mention of how the virus got there? I’m sure if a moo died, it would just be a wonderful story about how the best moos martyr themselves for their babies.
