if it was feasible during the Black Death it's feasible now. you just have to adjust your expectations of your child's material conditions from infancy through adulthood. If you go through with it you should also accept the likelihood that their life will be short and bad.
I wouldn’t call the Black Death feasible, but more “miserable” and 2/3 of crackerland died, so many people with kids end up with no kids, and many kids ended up raising themselves. So comparing crackerland’s Black Plague to modern conditions is like comparing apples and oranges.
covid was just Diet Black Death
