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?

@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?
