Small note: While there were reports of SARS having 0.49 after containment started, a WHO cited experts who said SARS had initial R0 of 2.9 then 2.0-3.5, which which fell to 0.4 after quarantine. But SARS is more symptomatic than this Wuhan virus. To be updated.

14/ Lets pretend the 3.8 estimate is too high (theres unpublished estimates of 2.5). even if this viruss R0=2.5, thats still 2x higher than seasonal flus 1.28 (ref above), and higher than 1918 Spanish Flu pandemic of 1.80 that killed millions. So 2.8 is still super bad folks
