I apologize if I sounded harsh; these are all legitimate concerns, and I'm fully on board with the fact that the lack of socialization is horrible for humans in general. COVID has absolutely disproportionally affected people of color who don't have the same access to resources that we do, and it will only widen the economic divide in many ways. I completely agree with the majority of everything you wrote in that reply, and the loss of extracurriculars is just another shot to the gut for many of our youth who were already struggling with a lack of peer contact before.
We may disagree on the means that should be taken, but I agree that the second-order effects of this are nothing to be taken lightly.
