This is not brought up enough. There's a family of immigrants in my neighborhood from Sierra Leone, and the mom is so terrified of covid-19 that she won't let her kids go out and play, or even go to the local elementary school for free meals (they are on government assistance). We've delivered them food because of this fear. I've tried to explain that kids are at low risk and that it's probably worse to keep them locked inside for months vs. letting them play out side, but alas, the fear is too strong...
