Droplets passed through the air are, of course, the largest single method of transmission.
Common sense therefore dictates that this lockdown will have saved lives. To what extent it has done so is a matter of academic debate.
Surprised you can't see the logical gulf in that argument, RH. You move from a description of ('undeniable') methods of virus transmission directly to an unevidenced ('common sense') assertion that 'lockdown' has 'saved lives'. How on earth do you get from the one to the other? You haven't even got 'social distancing' in there as a bridge. Maybe this'll help you out (and others whose credulity blankets are currently pulled over their logical facilities).
