IVF during normal times is, quite frankly, a luxury only extremely well-off individuals have access to. IVF during a pandemic should not be prioritized over savings lives. This is time of great sacrifice for everyone.

I’m having profound anxiety already. About my friends and family members dying or going bankrupt due to costs of medical care. About me or my partner coming down with this ourselves and the same happening to us. About the fact that all the restaurants, bars, and small business in this town (which is all we have here)

In the medical school where I work, we are shutting down clinical trials at a depressing rate. I think we’ve put 40 oncology trials on hold over the last few weeks. These trials are not only the last chance many cancer patients have to survive longer, but they are also the source of improved treatments in the future.

I agree that we should be empathetic to people facing infertility. But sometimes it is a little hard to feel a lot of compassion for people (and no, this is by far not the majority) who believe their desire to be pregnant is more important than other people’s need to not get COVID. As for women who will age out of

I really feel for people in the middle of treatments losing all that money if they were in the middle of a cycle.

I’m sorry but no. I dealt with infertility for over a decade and eventually had success with IVF, so believe me, I know this struggle inside and out. We were getting ready to do IVF again right when the pandemic hit, and now those plans are on hold. That said: we have significant community spread across the country. I

Seriously. I just fucking can’t with the general concept of thinking now is a good time to get pregnant or bring a child into the world, or thinking it’s ok to tie up medical resources in what is - sorry - an entirely elective procedure.

While I feel for people who worry that their chance to have children is being compromised, REs use gloves, masks, etc., when performing a lot of their treatments.  I would not be able to live with myself if I thought my desire for a child - no matter how deep-rooted and real - was taking needed supplies away from

This. The level of entitled whining in this article is, frankly, sicking.

If something can wait 2 months right now (so isn’t urgent), then we all need to wait 2 months. Hundreds of thousands of people are about to die. I would leave it up to legit medical ethicists to determine what can and can’t wait.

There is a global pandemic because the planet is trying to vomit 3+ billion of us off of it’s back but “whaah, I can’t have between 1 and 8 babies”. Stop crying, rub one out and realize that not everyone was meant to have kids for fucks sake. In fact those that don't are actively making this world a better place by

Obama has nothing to worry about.

Yeah, sorry, cry me a river but your fertility treatments are not a right, having children is not a right (unless you can naturally conceive them), and yeah it sucks if as a result of the pandemic some people might miss their window for fertility treatments but right now the focus is on postponing all non-emergency

I’m sorry, but no, you are not being singled out. If you’re not part of a heterosexual, fertile couple you can’t have a kid right now. That’s just biology. I’m single and turning 30 soon. I’d love a baby, but I have no way to have one. I’m not glaring at married, fertile, heterosexual people like “omg how dare

How about instead of blaming everybody else you do the grown up thing and say maybe those poor widdle idiots who are too stupid to think for themselves should possibly, think for themselves?

Immigration by 3rd world Latin Americans and Asians has turned 98% of Los Angeles into a broken, degenerated, crime infested, filthy, resource depleted, anonymous, uncaring, hopelessly diverse, detrimentally multicultural, graffiti sprayed, ugly, littered, disgusting, education averse, 3rd world jungle.

Ok, how many other schools that have hospitals received money? If there were more than sure yeah Gaetz is dumb, but if not...
