An informative take on the new coronavirus and its R0 metric.
The takeaways are that:
- R0 will change
- R0 sums up a distribution of infectiousness (everyone infects two vs. one person infects 100, 49 infects no one)
- the distribution matters more theatlantic.com/science/archiv…

The idea of a global R0 seems bizarre when you think about the differences between a dense population center with all ages and a suburb with young families. The distribution and specific areas matter much more.
