To keep breastfeeding because of coronavirus

I’m not one for health anxiety usually and I’m still hopeful that the coronavirus panic will all blow over so I’m not sure where this is coming from. DS is 18 months, I’d hoped to give up breastfeeding about now. I’m done with it. He’s only fed once per day (and only really 4-5 times per week) for a few months so I know he’s not desperately attached to it. I’m also 5-6 weeks pregnant and am bracing myself for horrendously sore nipples like I had last time, and would like to have a few months where I’m not breastfeeding before the next one comes along. However, I’m now worrying that I’ll massively regret stopping breastfeeding if DS becomes unwell with coronavirus! Obviously I’m doing everything that is reasonably practicable to stop that, but equally I’m not going to shut him, or us in the house for the next few months ‘just in case’. Do I finally fully wean him now, or do I wait it out another couple of months? Is it unreasonable to keep feeding him just in case he gets ill?
