BTW, looking at FL Rt=1.06 from rt.live I am officially scared for the rest of the country. Not sure if Rt from rt.live is helpful, NY Rt=1.07
numbers in FL.. you said its 1.06.. but reality is 1.3 average
it managed a 1.07 for the last half of May but by june 3rd numbers were above 1.1
heck even just looking at a graph you can see that the upward angle is not a low 1.0X amount
calculating R
0 is easy
pick a day and get the case numbers.
then find the case numbers for 7 days before it
then do: 1/days case*last weeks day case
because nature is not organised. its best to try it over a few days to get a better picture
EG one day(using its 7th day previous) might be 1.25 the next day(using its 7th day previous) might be 1.35
but one thing is for sure even without the math(just viual chart) or with the math. it hasnt been a 1.0X day or averaged week since may
