I have hope that the situation will ease after social distancing slows the spread enough so medical facilities aren't in as much danger of being overwhelmed.

If it's any comfort, this article speculates that children may be better able to fight the disease- they can contract it, but for whatever reason it doesn't usually hit them as hard.

They say that children have a different immune system response- that they have a more active 'innate' response that immediately attacks foreign pathogens, but in an adult, the 'adaptive' response is more active, and it takes time to recognize specific pathogens before fighting.
