When is the R = 1 epidemic stability threshold meaningful?

2024-11-01

Abstract excerpt

The effective reproduction number R is a predominant statistic for tracking the transmissibility of infectious diseases and informing public health policies. An estimated R=1 is universally interpreted as indicating epidemic stability and is a critical threshold for deciding whether infections will grow ( R>1 ) or fall ( R<1 ). We demonstrate that this threshold, which is typically computed over coarse spatial sca...
