Do not fear.

1. All evidence shows children have very low risk of severe illness. It can happen but is very very unlikely.

2. Immunity for corona viruses lasts months or years. Why should it be different for this one? Opposing news stories are mixtures of early discharges from hospitals and false negatives test results.

Studies that test also asymptotic cases from Italy and Heinsberg (Germany) (e.g. https://www.faz.net/aktuell/gesellschaft/gesundheit/coronavi...) indicate a R0 much higher than 2 or 3 (more between 5 and 10). We do not know infected people(!!!). We just know cases. My belief and hope is that virus is so infectious live can return to normal in weeks not months because almost everybody already has or had it (in areas with community spreading). Don't panic. Distance and wait.
