    Isn't it 50% increase or am I really being dumb

    I'm legit asking because I don't wanna be dumb lol


    Nope. It’s statistics and probability. Can’t work it like standard mathematics. That’s why there’s a variance in the R0 values.

    The R0 value crosses at the bottom so statistically.......you have the exact same chances of transmitting the flu as you do Corona.


    They are ALL standard math lol. I've studied both. If you meant simple math, then sure. Neither are simple math.

    "The R0 value crosses at the bottom so statistically.......you have the exact same chances of transmitting the flu as you do Corona."
    ---> Not true. R0 value is only defined at the time of invasion, so unless it's 0, it will never cross at the bottom. With a typical epidemic outbreak, you get the curve that first increases and then decreases, which says nothing about the likelihood of the virus transmitting.


    The R values define the probability of transmission


    R0 =/= R after invasion ... from the link you provided:

    "after the infection has invaded a population and everyone is no longer susceptible, R is always less than the basic reproduction number R0."


    That’s true for any virus.


    Still makes your statement false though. R0, unless it's 0, will never cross the bottom. If R0=0, there is no virus outbreak.


    When any 2 axis cross, at any point, they are equal at that point. Basic geometry

    1.6 is the top range for the flu. 1.6 is the bottom range for COVID-19. At that R0 value, they are equal


    lol, this just says the two range overlaps at one point...so in most cases they are not equal.


    But your previous claim was completely false and in no way represents what I’m saying. You’re not even comprehending what I’m saying here.


    What ARE you saying though? Because everything I'm reading translates to some kind of confusion.


    Read what I wrote to dazed


    Yep, just got it. But answer my question to my reply to him.
