The effective reproduction rate (R) with mitigation of TB varies by location. The Rnaught rate of TB with no mitigation is 2. The Rnaught rate of COVID-19 is at least 2. The R rate of COVID-19 in Germany is 0.8 or below currently. You are, once again, confusing the raw reproduction rate (Rnaught) with the effective Reproduction rate (R) with mitigation. TB is controlled both inside the U.S. and outside the U.S. in places with a higher R rate with lockdowns as needed, individual isolation, contact tracing and testing. It is effective for TB and it is the proper path for COVID-19.
I am not playing that game.. I am not confusing anything.. I gave you a link to a study... which stated... . Quantifying TB transmission: a systematic review of reproduction number and serial interval estimates for tuberculosis So fuck off with your nomenclature game.... I am not confusing anything. I am doing my best to avoid letting you play your bullshit experts confuse the terminology game. you can either come back with links and science in the US. or shut up and admit you just bullshit you ass off instead of linking to science.
Well today you said Covid is at least 2. A few weeks ago you were telling us it was 4. so... yeah I read your "science" its bullshit based on doomer bullshit.
I stated the minimum estimate for COVID-19 was 2. Most estimates have it as 2 to 3. Some papers have it as 4.2 to 6.8. The exact final Rnaught number for COVID-19 will not be known until the pandemic runs its first wave course. and studies are completed. Keep in mind that usually the initial Rnaught numbers are revised up after the studies like it was for SARS.
exactly my point... you have been bullshiting your ass off declaring numbers from models as if they are real. .
Go read what I stated earlier on this thread again... "The Rnaught rate for TB is around 2.0. This is similar for most low-end estimates for COVID-19."
