Hello Frank,
Most mothers do not normally need to go to the hospital to give birth. Mothers-to-be are pregnant, not sick.
Hospital birth is a luxury. There is this thing called home birth. There are these people called midwives. It's almost unheard of any more because the AMA saw it as competition and has used their tremendous power to try to eliminate midwifery.
Only high-risk births and complications should be handled by doctors.
The notion that one has to go to the hospital for a birth is a myth promulgated by a high-profit medicalized birth industry (which does not always have the best outcome.)
But I do agree it is not a good time to make babies. Having a midwife come to your home is not the best case for social distancing.
