That is correct. That is why I used the novel 2009 Swine Flu Virus as a baseline and not the other viruses that cause the common cold. The swine flu infected 61 million Americans in a one year period and it had a much lower R0 than Covid-19.

Italy just gave up and they’re working through it. Imagine the same thing will happen here with doctors and nurses going down for a week or two then coming back to work with immunity. This is going to get so bad if the rate is slowed... |

As far as the R0 of Covid-19 it can be seen anywhere from 2.1 to 3.5+. https://healthblog.uofmhealth.org/we...st-coronavirus R0 of the swine flu is listed here at around 1.4. https://healthblog.uofmhealth.org/we...st-coronavirus |

The guidance, sent by the Los Angeles County Department of Health Services to its doctors on Thursday, was prompted by a crush of patients and shortage of tests, and could make it difficult to ever know precisely how many people in L.A. County contracted the virus. The guidance sets in writing what has been a reality all along. The shortage of tests nationwide has meant that many patients suspected of having COVID-19 have not had the diagnosis confirmed by a laboratory. |

Not only that but I would imagine that most people unless they are on their death bed are not going to get tested. |
