I believe they are quite similar. That’s why I am amazed that the concept of it becoming an aerosol and transmitted via the air or a/c on the cruise liners has bemused me. I am no immunologist so can’t comment with any confidence. I’m hoping dannis contacts can elucidate
I think it means that instead, I meant to bring R from ~ 4 -> R <= 1 — rather than R0. R0 is the rate of transmission in the absence of deliberate intervention. It is my noob mistake to confuse these variables, as the actual nomenclature is much better!

Probably akin to talking about an object accelerating TOWARDS ‘a body’ and not specifying if gravity is or isn’t included
