During a pandemic
like COVID -19, there is an urgent need to understand how easily the infection
is spreading. Values like the reproduction number R, which measure transmission
in a population, have therefore become prominent terms. But how are these numbers
estimated? What are their limitations? And what can they tell us about how to
control epidemics?
