Video Q&A - Do you have questions about COVID-19?

@sistertwo, @merpreb, @spudmato, @asdf, @alamogal635, @rdt4, @danab – Many of you asked questions recently in the COVID-19 Coronavirus discussion. Would any of you care to ask your questions here for the live Q&A with Dr. Nipunie Rajapakse?

YES! Thank you for asking. However, I do not have any small children and perhaps my sport should be left to someone who has children. Thank you

I am on the older and immunocompromised end of the spectrum. I plan to tune in because I have granddaughter and nieces and nephews that i am actually more concerned about than I am for myself!

I have heard that the coronavirus is not as dangerous for the young ones. Are the symptoms and the precautions tha same as for adults? Do I put my granddaughter at a higher risk if I visit her during this confusing time?

Hello- By keeping children out of schools does this really help parents who have a comprimised immune system?

I have another question. Are the tests for the Coronavirus trustworthy at all? I har of people having to get numerous tests with different results for all three. Are all the tests the same, from the same manufacturer? What are the stats on false-negative tests?

There is a lot of confusion about wearing a mask. Can you add any clarity to this problem?

Quick recap – Here are some moments from the broadcast that addressed some of your questions (time counts down so the times listed are how far in to the broadcast they occurred):

-19:53 - How it affects kids
-18:56 - School closings
-13:55 - Who should be tested?
-11:25 - How can people protect themselves?
-10:58 - Who should wear a mask?

25:25 also has great info on proper hand cleaning.

Where can we find this online? The Q&A?
Thanks
