More unnecessary fearmongering from this journalist on #nCoV2019. It’s not shocking that a respiratory virus can be found in the upper tract as well as lower. Also no source for the R0=4 number—even that hysterical “thermonuclear pandemic” tweet didn’t cite a number that high.https://twitter.com/Laurie_Garrett/status/1221455737714565120 …
I don't think she knows what R0 means. Sadly. As you say, key here is that it's (highly!) context dependent - R0 isn't some magical properly of the virus. Even if it's 2.6 (or 4.0) at the moment, that's hugely likely to change - just look at SARS.
You are 100% correct. It’s extremely discouraging that the most credible virology reporters are failing to communicate these critical nuances.
She did this for Ebola and MERS too. Built her career on a book called The Coming Plague. This is the brand. It’s extremely unfortunate.
