Corona Virus will not shut down the “infertility industry”

See this article today in the Sydney Morning Herald:
IVF sector in limbo as coronavirus crisis threatens to shut down infertility industry

Coronavirus will not shut down the “Infertility industry”. Firstly, it is not an industry. Patients should be assessed case by case as some already have low prospects and these will plummet if waiting another 6 months. Just as elective surgery is being deferred if non-urgent, so can Infertility have similar triaging. Secondly, it is also about the sharing finite resources in the current environment, be it a hospital bed, a sterile drape or a surgical mask.

Lastly, as opposed to natural conception , what additional risks are you exposing yourself to by attending the extra medical visits and procedures at this time.
