So should I be worried or not?

As long as you or your wife don't have underlying health conditions like asthma or cardiovascular disease then not really 2/1000 deaths in your age group. Now your patents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, or friends over 50, yeah i'd be a little worried.
 
Whew thank goodness I’m still 49!! 0.4 instead of 1.3% death rate for when I turn 50!! Damn shit better be over before September!

From Wikipedia.

ProPublica reported on February 28 that the slow testing was actually due to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention rejecting internationally-used World Health Organization COVID-19 test guidelines and instead trying to develop a test of its own; that test turned out to be unreliable, and most state laboratories were not allowed to test until February 26

Worst part about this is that you can’t stop it. From a dad view, this sucks.

Your kids will be fine. Very low rates of even mild symptoms in teens. Not a single death in the 0-9 age group. Only 1 death that I know of in the teens. While they still get it and are contagious, most kids don't even have symptoms.
