Is COVID spread primarily by droplets, so that wearing cotton masks makes sense, but closing schools (to prevent children, the vast majority of which will not cough due to COVID, from getting infected) does not? Or is COVID primarily airborne, so that wearing cotton masks makes no sense, but closing schools makes sense (as people who have no symptoms are just as likely to spread COVID as people who have symptoms)?
You have made up your mind and won't entertain anything other than was justifies your decision on this.
Why are we even bothering to continue?
Please go lick some doorknobs in a crowded school.
While you are relatively likely to get sick from licking a doorknob, you are very unlikely to get COVID that way.
