Transmission rate:

Note: "transmission rate" here is a measure of speed of spread of infection, and means how much of the susceptible population each infected person is infecting per day (if everyone is susceptible). E.g. 10% means that 100 infected patients will infect 10 new people per day. Related to R0. See Methodology for details of calculation.
