Delta's R numbers are not uniform, but certainly are not 0.
Some easy-to-grab stats from Canada's worst covid province which is dealing with a Delta wave:
Alberta provincewide: 1.48 (1.38-1.59)
Edmonton Zone: 1.37 (1.15-1.61)
Calgary Zone: 1.50 (1.37-1.64)
Rest of Alberta: 1.48 (1.26-1.73)

(Fyi, Alberta is Canada's version of West Virginia. It is the national heart of COVID resistance/denial.)
- manwe150 5y agoI don’t know any specifics about this, so this as an attempt at asking questions of what to possibly expect from those numbers. Alberta seems to be 63% vaccinated, which seems to put them well above average for the US? And it looks like those numbers are currently computed for the day before the latest surge in cases took off? Edit: later learned the parent is talking about R0 and you are talking about Rt, so those numbers are not directly comparable anyways.
- sandworm101 5y agoOh. Whenever i see "R number" i think Rt. Thats what the news and government spokespeople use.
