TLDR Outbreaks like COVID-19 spread exponentially, and that's why social distancing is the key to flatten the curve. The new coronavirus has an R0 of roughly 2 to 2.5, meaning that each new person spreads the disease to about 2.2 people on average. R0 refers to the average number of people that one sick person goes on to infect, among a group that has no immunity to the virus. The total number of infected cases a month ago was below hundred thousand and at the time of writing this article, it has crossed a million.via the TL;DR App
