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
Here’s what the oft-cited R0 number tells us about the new outbreak—and what it doesn’t.

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.

Here is another takeaway: if you are a journalist and you never took a basic probability and statistics class (or failed it), you have no business reporting on viruses.
