Are lockdowns justified?

[FlatAssembler]

Then why do statistics show you are far more likely to get COVID from somebody who has symptoms than from somebody who is asymptomatic (like the vast majority of children who get COVID are)?

Symptoms like hacking and coughing and sneezing and rubbing their hands all over shit?  Use your mensa brain to figure out how, if droplets are an issue, symptomatic carriers just might be producing a larger volume.

You have a political disagreement.  Lead with it, stick to it.

So, which one is it? 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)?
