This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

The recent coronavirus outbreak, better known at COVID-19 in the United States or novel coronavirus pneumonia in China, has reached pandemic proportions. The illness is caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), also known as 2019-novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV). With the first adult cases reported in December 2019 in Wuhan, China, pediatric cases followed shortly thereafter with a strong tendency for familial clusters. terestingly, total numbers of symptomatic pediatric cases lag dramatically behind adult cases suggesting a protective effect of age.
