The of an infectious disease is the mean number of new people infected by a patient with the disease. a. Suppose two diseases have the same . What might this fact hide? 1 completion point The basic reproduction number , is the average number of new patients who will get infected from a single infected patient in a fully susceptible population. For example, =2 means on average every case will create two new cases. If is greater than 1, the infection will initially spread in this population. If it’s less than 1, the infection will eventually die out. Two diseases with the same may have very important differences. The most obvious is that is an average. The distribution for number of new cases may not be bell-shaped, thus using (mean) to describe the central tendency may be misleading. Suppose a virus has an of 2, meaning that every single infected person passes the virus to two new cases. It could also mean that one infected person is a “super-spreader” who infects 100 people, while 49 infected people infect no one. very difficult to estimate. Usually, we calculate it based on data from an outbreak that has already occurred (recently or not) but local conditions in a different place can affect the spread significantly, as well as changes in behavior such as quarantining. assumes, by definition, a single patient zero dropped in a fully susceptible population. For a new disease such as COVID-19 that approximation is good, but for others it can be very misleading [Show Less]
