The imperial college had it estimated 2.1 - 3.3 before "stay at home" measures. Obligatory influenza is 1.5.

If that were true then how can you possibly explain how rapidly the pandemic is spreading?

Long time to spread.

It's curiously spreading at the exact same rate that tests are being administered. Curious indeed..

Maybe you got the terminology mixed up like I had? `* 1.3` is just about the growth rate per day, which isn't R0.

Intersting. Can you post what you did maybe on a Jupyter notebook?
