The good news about the coronavirus pandemic
Most people with COVID-19 recover.
Estimates now suggest that 99% of people infected with the virus that causes COVID-19 will recover. Some people have no symptoms at all.

According to the CDC, the vast majority of infections so far have afflicted adults. And when kids are infected, they tend to have milder disease. For kids and their parents, that’s good news. However, it’s important to note that children can develop an infection. A recent study from China early in the outbreak demonstrated that a small number of kids, especially infants and toddlers, can develop a serious infection. As is true generally, it’s likely that kids can spread infection in the absence of symptoms, though how often this happens is unclear. e
