Yes, why isn't there more focus on getting R0 < 1? Flattening the curve seems like a good idea, but R0 < 1 also seems very important.
(I've been trying to simulate this, but ended up battling matplotlib unsuccessfully to create a graph.)
- kevinskii 7y agoI think the focus is the same. Flattening the curve effectively means reducing the R0, and the steps being taken now could theoretically get it below 1.
- SamReidHughes 7y ago“Flatten the curve” is to increase compliance by making accomplishing something seem more realistic, even at an individual level.
- nbanks 7y agoSouth Korea seems to have done this; they have more testing than anywhere else, yet they have less new cases now than they did last week.
