I'm in Asia and the panic is surreal. If you prwctice proper hygiene and lives somewhat of a healty lifestyle (strong immune system), you're more than safe.

My kid was going on a college trip to China in March. That’s not happening...

The early data seems to show worst impact serious complications/lethality on those male 50-70. Speculation is around the Coronavirus needing to bind to ACE2 receptors. Seems to less serious to women children/ elderly. Or it could be a Chinese data bias.
