Again I think we are getting into semantics, where there's no reason to not be clear. If you make R < 1 you are in fact suppressing the disease. However slowly

Again I think we are getting into semantics, where there's no reason to not be clear. If you make R < 1 you are in fact suppressing the disease. However slowly.
