No you're not. Having your kid wear a helmet 24/7 would reduce their risk. But it will be reduced by such a tiny amount that it's really not worth the trouble.

There is not a global pandemic killing millions and which might kill your kid that can be prevented by wearing a helmet.

I'm not sure what you're trying to say. Don't bother with the helmet, the kid might die from Corona? Don't bother with Corona, the kid might get hit by a car (more likely than dying from Corona, actually).

There's simply a tiny improvement of safety, too small to care. Of course, this changes if the child belongs to a risk group that has a much higher chance of getting seriously ill and dying. Much like it totally makes sense to make your kid wear a helmet while biking, because the risk is much, much higher at that time.
