“I hear your question, but the statistics show the chances of a kid chas vshalom dying from this is EXTREMELY low (almost non-existent).”

That’s true . But at the same time look at this website — and look at the number of obituaries of people who passed away from the virus. Look at the local newspaper — and look at the pages upon pages of Covid obituaries. I think there is a bit of cognitive dissonance — again considering that in most orthodox neighborhoods we know of multiple people who died as a result – and many of them with no prior existing medical conditions — and not all of them old.
