Children are the weakest link, aren't they?

If I have to remind DS (14) to wash his hands one more bloody time...

I am struggling to imagine a school of 1200 pupils with all of them washing their hands regularly during the day, before meal times etc.

Oh - and all of them religiously catching it and binning it.

Fun and games....

My 14yois the same.

She just laughs at me.

The stats from China would suggest not. I think hospitals and old people’s homes might be.

Stats are 0.2 % children. So they are the least likely to have it.

Yeap, they are germy little devils and I've just been to a primary school inter-borough sports tournament where all the kids were still made to shake hands with their opponents...

I hear you

I think many kids have had the virus but the symptoms have been mild / similar to usual kid's colds etc and they have just shaken it off. The number of children 'officially' infected seems to be very, very low. I think they are the least hygienic but also the least affected.

They're the strongest link, despite the lack of hand washing.

Kids are the least likely to have the serious symptoms - it's like a normal cold for them it seems. The older you are, and the more compromised your immune system is, the greater your chance of developing complications (mainly pneumonia.)

I work in a school and during break duty I witnessed many of the kids sanitising their hands so perhaps they are secretly taking the advice seriously
