Multiple doctors in their late 20s or early 30s have died from the coronavirus. If you are under 18 and have good health, then you are pretty safe.

For the doctors in Wuhan in their late 20s and early 30s who died from the virus, overwork compromising their immune system might have been a factor.

I've been trying to find mortality rates for the very young. Infants and toddlers. I haven't been finding much information. Is this being reported? Having twins under a year at home has somehow managed to become an even more stressful event...

There was a study[1] released by China CDC that tracked 44,000 patients to 11 Feb. They found zero deaths under age 9, with 416 cases. The study doesn't load for me, so here's the wayback link[2].

I think the reported rate is 0, with contamination rates being low as well. It seems that currently there are more reasons to be worried for your parents than for your kids.

There have been a handful of infections but no fatalities. This virus is essentially a minor cold in young people.
