Even if the kids are fine, if both parents get sick at the same time it's going to be hell taking care of the kids. Especially when you can't hire outside help due to social distancing requirements.

That is my biggest concern as well. Plus the reality that if both parents come down with serious symptoms the kids likely have it, so it would not be ideal to send the kids to other family members to watch long term

Also a lot of parents rely on... Grandparents to childcare when they are sick!

"Hey Grandma can you take care of my covid-kid while I am slowly maybe dying here?"
