In response to "what does an R of 1.0 mean -- nm" by tRuMaN

That an infected person will spread the disease to 1.0 people.

So, when the R is under 1, fewer people are spreading/receiving the disease.

When it's 1 or more, the disease is effectively doubling with each new transmission...which is terrifying.
