Why are you spreading misinformation? Flu has R0 of 1.2 and a mortality rate of 0.1% meanwhile the coronavirus has an R0 of 4-14 and a mortality rate of 3% you must have done terribly in math

I thought R0 was lower than that especially given non aerosol transfer

hard to estimate, best guess for overall cases that I've seen in papers is probably ~4. But in the case of a Japanese cruiseliner, it is perhaps something like 61! R0 is a variable that's actually a distribution and highly dependent on environment and behaviour.
