I've been thinking a lot about it today, and I have to say I can't see the rationale for basing a country's reopening primarily on R (reproduction rate) Yesterday 10/05/20: Australia R = ~0.9, 21 new cases UK R = ~0.85, 3923 new cases

The effective reproduction rate tells you whether an epidemic is increasing (R>1) or declining (R<1) but the base in many ways more important because a 5% can be gigantic or tiny depending on your starting point
