Too many people assume that R0 is a static number. In fact, it’s quite variable. The R0 for Disease X in the gen pop of a large prison would be much higher than the R0 of the same Disease X in a rural area where people were practicing social distancing.

I know, that's why I ran it with every R0 I could find in a peer-reviewed study. Just pointing to some flaws in the thinking behind this whole lock-down, besides the fact that the closed-source model it was based on has spit out the same predictions in the past, and been completely wrong.

Math is only as valuable as the assumptions it's based on, and in any case where authoritarians are the ones making the assumptions...
