@JustAGirl515@lauferlaw I occasionally repost this:
The ability of a disease to propagate w/in a population is indicated by the Basic Reproduction Number (R𝛐). Roughly, it is the # of new cases that would occur when naive population is exposed to 1 person w/ disease.
Ebola's R𝛐 is 1.8.
Measles? 17.
@MrMrsHenryWales You could have at least included a note of attribution when you stole my Reddit post.
Please everyone be aware that much like the Duchess of Sussex, @MrMrsHenryWales is a plagiarist.
@ECaliberSeven@MollyJongFast All this slicing and dicing the electorate is utterly ridiculous. Trump won because they jimmied the results even in blue states. They’ve done it before. And by “them” I mean Republicans joining forces w/ Russia. We are now a wholly owned subsidiary of Putin.
@SethAbramson The exit polls in 2004 were accurate. As Kerry noted, he won that election except for election fraud—most notably in Ohio, where “a terrorist threat” “forced” the counting into a single “secured” location. With that, Bush’s fortunes did a u-turn & he went on to “win.”
@ChristineParini It’s the Karl Rove method of stealing an election right down to fiddling w/ vote totals. Worked for GW Bush. It’s worked for Putin/Trump as well.
