R0 (R-naught) value is a measure of how many people an infected person may pass his/her infection to. The original covid-19 had an R0 value between 2 and 3. A few weeks ago the R0 value for delta was around 6, meaning 1 infected person would infect 6 others.

New info today shows the delta R0 between 8 and 9.

And there are still many that question the need for the vaccine or wear masks improperly or flaunt local covid regulations or choose political stance over science.

It would be interesting to know the R0 of a vaccinated population - that is the key to beating Covid-19.

 

Additionally, the R0 in a population with different vaccines... i.e. R0 of a population vaccinated with Pfizer, vs AZ or Sinovac.
