Perhaps, but it doesn't change the fact that Trump hasn't been inspiring, initially, at least.
Churchill and Stalin both eventually realised that they should leave military considerations to the experts, didn't they?
I believe Trump has finally realised the need to do the same, in regard to coronavirus?
Correct me if I am wrong.

Same here.
Sometimes I forget that people are dying and then I feel guilty about it.

Good try.
"Never give up,
Never surrender!"
But perhaps it is better to leave comic relief to the experts.

People are *always* dying.
The vast majority simply aren't reported, under "normal" circumstances.

Errr, after they died.
That is why I have installed a triple deadlock on my door.

People are prematurely dying of the garden variety flu, too.
I am not being unsympathetic.
I am being aspie factual.

Between everyone safely tucked away and all the pregnancies that are going to occur, there will be a significant population explosion. Twice as many people being born than dying. Governments should collectively see if they can get the world population past 10 billion.

I'll play devil's advocate and say there won't be a baby boom. Many couples aren't even able to see each other to conceive if they wanted to. Couples who are already married / living together / sharing a space have probably realised a) they already have enough children (kids are out of school, and a handful), b) they were already on birth control before and afraid to get pregnant / need medical care now, or c) the couple is fighting because of sharing space without privacy.
Of course that's just my opposite opinion, as usual.
One thing's for sure, most babies who are conceived will likely be from couples who are at least married, or in committed relationships rather than accidental pregnancies from a less-committed / not-married partner.
All good points,
However,
You are assuming people are behaving rationally.
Globally, most lean more towards emotionalism, rather than rationality.
How else can you explain the preponderance of younger political progressives?

Regrettably, I did hear of a woman who gave birth to twins and named them Corona and Covid.
True story.
