Yes - dangerous to assume but all the reporting so far has suggested that if you are
reasonably healthy and don't have a reduced immune system then it shouldn't make you too unwell. Not saying that belittles the problem or that we must not do absolutely everything we can to stop this spreading but obviously with children in particular that does at least provide a degree of reassurance and helps identify those in the population who we need to try and isolate from this virus at all costs.
I think if cases start emerging of younger people with no underlying health problems being killed by it then it becomes a slightly different ball game.
