Re: Omicron Rnought estimate 12-2021

FIrst Strain COVID about 3

Delta Variant about 5 (larger range on this due to many factors)

Omicron is clearly higher - 10-15

Measles is the worst of all , 18 is the accepted value.

R nought measures how many people a typical carrier will infect in an unvaccinated population without controls.
