DESCRIPTION:During a pandemic
like COVID-19\, there is an u
rgent need to understand how easily the infection<
br>is spreading. Values like the reproduction numb
er R\, which measure transmission
in a populati
on\, have therefore become prominent terms. But ho
w are these numbers
estimated? What are their l
imitations? And what can they tell us about how to
control epidemics?
