No, it seems like no one is thinking about children who have parents that are still at work, particularly those who have parents as nurses etc. who will still be working in a lockdown. Children in low income families who have parents that can't afford to not work or pay for childcare? Where all all these children go? Most of them can't go to their grandparents now.
