I don't understand why you say the curve isn't affected by lockdowns. Of course curves aren't flat. They are curves. Lockdowns aren't making curves flat, they flatten the curve compared to no interventions. In some of the worst hit areas the curve in deaths per day is decreasing.

I'm not trying to kill an argument. I'm trying to understand. I think that everybody has seen those graphics including AC. I'm interested in learning how we can each look at those graphics but draw different conclusions about the effectiveness of lockdowns.
There isn’t a vax for any Coronavirus; Sars1, Mers, common cold. They are rna viruses so the vaccine has to trigger antibodies which also sometimes cause “disease enhancement “ which is a real concern with these diseases, and sometimes they react with the lungs or kidneys. The trials didn’t even get through the “valley of death” animal stages this is why they have no effective vaccine yet.
Sure they do. Mine go out in the back yard every day.
and not trying to speak for abandon, but it seemed like his point was based on his belief that if the lockdown worked, that the curve would already be flat because of the time the virus is active was only 8 days.
I think 6 feet in still air lab conditions sounds right, but if the breeze carries the micro-droplets it’s conceivable that there may be an increase range of contagiousness downwind.

@radiant Rudy put up a pic of how far it's carried in air. 27 ft i thought it said.
And there is no proof it doesn’t .....Have another look at Sweden as of today. Their curve should be flat according to this thread. The quick response to lockdown travel was IMO the key. Keeping numbers low enough to track and isolate seems to be the one main factor ...... it’s still pretty early to prove what was/is successful. Seems your offering a good “hypothesis” though

Sneezing 27 feet
stay home or wear a mask when you go out......be a civil human
i saw another video simulation where it was a guy in a grocery store coughing and how a small green cloud near him went pretty much thoughout the entire store.
