    Covid-19

    Think you may be right. An R0 value of 1 means the average person who gets that disease will transmit it to one other person; in that case, the disease is spreading but at a stable rate. A value of less than 1 means a disease is in decline and could die out. So UK lockdown measures would have to get RO below 1 to follow China. Seems extreme lockdown worked in China, but the big question is will the "halfway house" UK lvl lockdown atm reduce cases enough so they don't have to carry on until a vacine if they want to avoid a second wave. . Im unsure what the UK exit stratergy is, try to aim to follow what China did, or just try and wait it out, till a vaccine, but that will require alot longer lockdown. So the economic impact for UK could be alot more than in China if the duration of lockdowns are longer. Maybe this is why they have sudenly decide they now need to test alot more and and are even talking abourt digital phone app that trace contacts like Korea and China has. EDIT Looking at the daily cases data for several countries such as Spain and Italy that are ahead of the UK on the curve, they seem to be plateaued for a several days now maybe longer than China did i think, so RO must be around 1. (with a week-ish delay in feeback due to inncubation time until symptoms apear). PPE and testing for medical staff especially could be be the crucial factors, as a very small change in RO will feeback and make a big difference to cases curve trajectory.
