Please don't put words in my mouth.

I didn't ever say that any policy had no effects except the curfew.

>Schools have been opened in many places in the world, and are generally not considered to be superspreading locations

You are simply wrong on this point. Quebec contact tracing data shows "Education" to be the #2 category for source of infection in the last two months : https://www.quebec.ca/en/health/health-issues/a-z/2019-coron...

>The original closures in January had a radically positive effect in reducing spread, and there were many more measures in place than merely curfew.

I never disputed the good effects of the closures in January. I disputed the impact of the curfew solely. You will alos notice in the data after January that the category of infection sources that fell the most is actually "Living and care environemnts", which is where healthcare is placed - a major driver of infection that was eliminated via vaccination.
