The problem with kids isn't that they are at risk of a serious infection, the problem is that someone needs to watch them. I worked from home yesterday while my daughter was off for the election, and while my work from home days are usually more productive, yesterday my output was clearly lower. Even a good 5-year-old needs a fair amount of attention. Younger kids need even more.
Kids are also great at spreading viruses even if they don't get very sick from them. In some ways that makes it worse because if they don't have obvious symptoms then they could be more likely to transmit it as no one is monitoring them closely.
