DP. Things that come to mind without much thinking: Mental health of kids due to isolation, child abuse, physical and mental stress related to financial problems.[/quote]
I don’t see any reasonable [b]statistician[/b] who believes that children will suffer dire mental health consequences of distance learning. Child abuse has not and can not be prevented by attending school for seven hours a day, five days a week, ten months out of the year. Stop trying to blame school systems for abusive parents-that is a case of harm being directly inflicted on a child by their own family. The school doesn’t shoulder that blame. 
None of those issues would cause anywhere near half a million deaths in a few months, as COVID already has-I’m sorry, but mitigation of the virus is more important than any of those i things. [/quote]

A statistician? Why would you consult a [i]statistician [/i]about the mental health consequences of closed schools for children? That's not statisticians' field of expertise.
