What is the advice for kids with underlying conditions?

Does anyone know?

My kids have asthma one badly. They also have another underlying health condition. To look at them you would never guess.

What do I do? Feel like I am putting them on the front line!? Can they not work from home with google classroom?

A student with cystic fibrosis has been off since half term from my school. Not sure whether that was from advice from her Dr's or not though.

I have a dd who has a serious heart condition although her ECHO was fine last week, three more cardiology appointments in London in next few months, which i am dreading as we use public transport.

I feel for you. It is terrible for us.

I go in daily phases of being totally relaxed and in denial to being completely terrified.

My daughter has been told she has half the lung capacity she should have.

No one seems to care as long as their life is not disrupted.

I'm wondering the same and although no known cases near us I think I will phone our main consultants Secretary and ask advice

You'll struggle to get much advice. We've heard very little about how the complex paediatric population would be affected, just the general information about how under 20s seem to get less severe disease. I'm hoping that more information might come out of Italy.

Yes think I will have to speak to consultant,GP and school nurse. Their school has just come back from a skiing trip and have exchange students.

How selfish can you get as have had no advice.
