Is that me [gadfly] or Syne?
Either way - yes - I think they are an essential.

Sorry. I thought it was obvious.

That you're head is so far up your own arse that you can't tell the difference between comparing apples to apples and traditional beliefs, it just goes to show how little you understand honest comparisons of data. So not only are you a moron, you're a bigot to boot. Still butt-hurt about losing your colonizing empire?

UK citizens are more selfish and stupider than Swedish citizens (see Corvid-19 infection rate for confirmation). In fairness to the UK the high proportion of single households (or single adult with child) in Sweden gives them an advantage when dealing with a highly infectious disease.
So lockdowns, meant to stop infections between households, were less effective than no lockdown at all? Good to see you agree with my estimation of your ignorance ("stupider") though.

If the virus didn't cause a cough do you think it would be as infectious as it has turned out to be?
Please try to be as honest as you can be when/if you choose to answer.

Yes, considering the best evidence shows it is airborne, large droplets is largely immaterial. Coughing large droplets quickly fall to the ground, whereas breathing stays suspended in the air for prolonged periods.
