Are lockdowns justified?

[The Grand Nudger]

Pretty sure it's already been explained to you that you don't have to be hacking your lungs out to spread droplets. I'm also willing to bet that they are more likely to infect their granny than a kid who didn't have covid. What do you think?

OK, what do you think is the probability of getting infected with COVID from a child? It is presumably greater than the 1/10'000 probability of getting infected by touching a contaminated surface, but how high is it really? I think I have read somewhere that a 9-year-old is about as immune to COVID as a vaccinated adult is, but I cannot find where and I do not know if that is true. What do you think and why? And is it worth closing schools because of that? You need to consider closing schools for more than a year leaves a lot of collateral damage. Children who do not go to school are more vulnerable to domestic violence, and domestic violence is less often detected. Not to mention what it does to the academic welfare.

Does some number higher than zero work for you with respect to whatever political disagreement you intend to use a plague as leverage for?

For me, from the standpoint of preventing the spread of the plague, no number higher than zero is desirable, many numbers higher than zero are unacceptable.

Why haggle over a few tens of thousands here or there, right?

I am not sure what you mean. The American policy of putting COVID patients into nursing homes probably caused tens of thousands of deaths, right?

The lack of any american policy killed hundreds of thousands.  You have bad sources, a poor understanding of facts, an even poorer command of logical inference, and all of it is pointless 

-because you have a political disagreement.  Plagues don't give a shit about anyone's politics. By all means, service that disagreement, but understand that it has nothing to do with the spread of infectious disease or the effectiveness of quarantine protocol or the necessity of vaccine distribution. Nothing about any of that can help you to push whatever criticism or alternative policy suggestion tickles your fancy. It's wasting your time, and tanking your credibility.

As far as this new concern trolling attempt. Call me old fashioned, but I prefer that victims survive. Whether that's domestic abuse or institutional malfeasance, no matter. Politically, this leads to an end as dead as half a million americans, between you and I at least.
