I think it would be helpful to know things like
People in hospital
People in ICU
Age groups
People and age groups recovered
So many people keep talking about carrying on as normal because either they are not in the at risk group or they are not in contact with these groups. And as long as they wash their hands then they will be fine.
I have probably been guilty of spending too much reassuring my children and not wanting to panic them but I think sitting them down with the facts could help. They are teens , I am not talking about tiny ones.
