China coronavirus: patients are infecting two or three other people, research estimates | South China Morning Post

Transmission rates are considered a moving target because of gaps in information, and the number can change quickly based on quarantines and public awareness
‘Whether transmission continues at the same rate critically depends on the effectiveness of the intense control effort now underway in Wuhan and across China’

Those infected with the Wuhan coronavirus are passing it on to two to three people on average, but that number could change quickly depending on factors including the success of China’s efforts to contain the outbreak through quarantines and increased public awareness.

I never took statistics, so I didn't flunk out at Fordham as did Trump, but this sounds like a real Andromeda Strain.

While not a killer high r0 like measles, T.B., or whooping cough, it's still a bit higher than the flu. And that's enough to make a pandemic. Especially since it's contagious before symptoms develop.
 
That's nothing really. People coming to work with the cold/flu infect far more people. But hey, why use those sicks days when you are sick when you could use them when you want to take a three day weekend to the beach.
