Default Epidemic modeling discussion - very interesting analysis from research

'Trump is right about the coronavirus. The WHO is wrong,' says Israeli expert - Israel News - Haaretz.com

Not just about spread rate, R0, but mutation rates and network effects.

One most interesting point, the mutation rate of seasonal influenza is very high which means people can get infected year after year. A point not widely mentioned with the comparison of difference of death rates from very low mutation rate virus, COVID19, and high mutation rate seasonal flu.
