With the matter of starvation and the dubious aim of the virus (its target may be to cancel mankind according to some theories), how do you think the hive manages procreation? I think at least for now they would avoid it to keep the load on food resources as low as possible. What’s your take?

I don't think they procreate. If they were interested in continuing humanity they wouldn't be so strict about their philosophy. They would "pick the fucking apple" as Carol puts it. It's a feature, not a bug.

IMO all they want is enough time and bodies to send a new signal before humanity goes extinct.

Whether it's a prelude to invasion or just a rogue virus still trying to spread itself is anyone's guess.
