Your points on the limits of R0 are valid, but we also need to add morbidity rates and asymptomatic carriers to the issue. It's the combination of mild R0, low morbidity rates and asymptomatic that is dangerous

Great article. Please consider avoiding dehumanizing language. They are people. They are mothers, brothers, and daughters. They may be superspreading event index case-patients, but there are not simply "superspreaders." Thanks!

People are anxious because we're in the dark. For example, if we look at deaths/recoveries of confirmed cases, we have no idea what the demgraphics are or what kind of care they recieved.

And how many are asymptomatic or never reported to a hospital.

Thank you!! I keep seeing this one infectious disease writer trying to get people riled up about how “good this virus is at spreading” and it is so incredibly unnecessary

Anything that convinces people to take flu control practices seriously is a positive. Maybe we avoid an absolute panic in 2 months by evoking a bit of alarmism today? People won't do anything if they don't feel a threat.
