What are people doing with regard to children who are more vulnerable? My two year old has TOF/OA, meaning he had major surgery on his respiratory system when he was born and resultant respiratory weakness. He has in the past been hospitalised and required oxygen (and in one case ventilation) for common colds.

DH and I are both teachers and both healthy so may need to work in our schools to look after children of front line staff. I have no issue with working. Our older DS could presumably go to school whilst we do this. But how does it all work logistically? How can a two year old self isolate or I from him if he is at higher risk?

Similar situation. Our 2 YO DS suffers viral wheeze and had been on a ventilator in the past and on one occasion he was down to just one lung functioning. I'm so scared for him. DH is a police officer and has to go out to work but I'm a SAHM. I've kept our other 2 children off school since yesterday and we are isolating as much as we can DH goes to work and comes home goes nowhere in between as soon as he gets in he gets changed and washes his hands before coming near the kids. Not sure what else we can do. I really hope you're LO is ok take care of yourselves.
