FR is an amazing place. Think of the cash spent on the combined government resources arrayed against something like this, and between a few of us, we zeroed an R0 before they did. Perhaps we sussed it before they were ready to announce it.
Even the release ASU put out buried the lead. They never once referred to the reproductive rate as R0.
Just had a disturbing thought. Suppose it gets loose in some crowded hellhole prison in one of those countries. I can’t imagine anyone sticking around to keep the prisoners confined.
