Should be more worried about your parents than your kids. Biggest problems in the US is co-morbidities:

34M people with diabetes (14M over 65)
18M people with coronary artery disease
108M adults with hypertension
16M with COPD

Millions of others with cancer, kidney disease, auto immune disorders...etc.

I've read that at least in the early reports kids are faring well against the virus, and they feel it may be because they are regularly hit with colds, many of which are other Coronaviruses. This could provide some resistance.

Either way the media fearmongering and public overreaction is unnecessary. It's essentially a bad flu. No need to hoard water like Hurricane Katrina is on the way.
