Great thread on interpreting some of the sky high “R0” estimates for variants. (I saw some really questionable ones in The Guardian recently).

If a new SARS-CoV-2 variant is spreading 50% faster than an old one, does the new variant have a 50% higher R0? With each new variant more transmissible than the last, does that mean the latest variants have an R0 of 18? 😳 A short explainer… 1/5
