Assuming a serial interval of 6–9 days, we calculated a median R0 value of 5.7" https://wwwnc.cdc.gov/eid/article/26/7/20-0282_article https://wwwnc.cdc.gov/eid/article/26/7/20-0282_article A herd immunity strategy involving fast immunization by continuing business as usual would then involve an R0 > 5.
