going on. So that's the R not number. That's the R not number, right? That means the number of people that one person can infect when they come in contact with them. That's right. We're going about daily life. The problem is that there is no typical person, right? Someone goes to an event with hundreds of people like in South Korea and all of a sudden you have hundreds of people that have been infected by one person. That's a super spreader event. And hundreds of people being infected compared to a typical number of people that are infected, which is probably in the range of one to two to three, is just a totally different ball game. So that brings us back to this point about exponential growth versus linear growth and... Well, exponential growth can happen without super spreader events. The exponential growth is just this multiplier that, you know, and the easiest way to think about it is not with R not, but just with a multiplier from day to day to day. How many more new cases do you (20/41)
