The Ro Value, [r Nought), of an infection is the number of cases it generates on average over the course of its infectious period, in an otherwise uninfected population.

FORMULA: When R0 < 1, the infection will die out in the long run. But, if R0 > 1, the infection will spread in a population. The larger the value of R0, the harder it is to control the epidemic.
LINK: https://lnkd.in/eXYpEUm METRICS: Recently, Corona virus estimates ranged from 1.4 to 5.5. The WHO range was 1.4 and 2.5. In comparison, seasonal flu affects millions each year but has an R0 of just 1.3.
