can someone please talk to me I'm worried sick. this new strain of the virus, is it hurting little children? I'm worried sick about my little boy his only 6. im also 16 weeks pregnant. I dont know anything about this new strain. and I'm so worried it's worse than the first. I know from the first it didnt harm little ones but people are saying that kids are passing away from this in the uk. I'm in ireland and I'm terrified. I just cant bare to think about it. every symptom I'm panicking. I need advice and I need reassurance. Is this new strain worse ? and also because I'm pregnant does that make me more of a high risk? I dont have any medical conditions and I'm 28 neither has my little one any medical conditions.. pls someone help because i am so worried 😭😭

I am sorry you are so concerned and worried. I totally understand. From what I have heard this new strain of Covid is not any more serious than the original one. I just heard that it is more contagious.
there has been nothing proven yet about how it affects children , but so far the evidence is not very strong that the new strain is any worse for children. it’s just that the virus spreads easier.
Just keep doing what you’ve been doing to protect yourself and your child. The good thing is that neither of you have any underlying health conditions and you are both very young!
Being pregnant just take more precautions. If it makes you feel safer, can you order food in? If you must go out protect yourself with a mask as well as your child. And the main thing is really good handwashing for both of you! That’s the number one way of stopping viruses.
another thing is that things will be getting better because the vaccine is being given to millions of people and soon the vast majority of people will have it. The scientist say that they believe it will be effective against the new strain also! So there is hope on the horizon! Hang in there, remember this too shall pass! we just have to hold out and a scientist I was listening to said eventually the coronavirus will be just like the common cold. The common cold is actually a coronavirus but not a mutated one like COVID-19. Coronavirus has been around forever in one form or another.
Play some relaxing music, take a nice bath, listen to a soothing meditation, do things to relax yourself so you’re not in a constant state of worry. Hey, we are here for you! Message anytime and feel free to private message me anytime OK? It’s good just to have somebody to "Talk" to. you, your child and your baby are going to be OK! ❤❤❤
