Concept

Reproductive Number in China (January 10 2020 to January 24 2020: 2-fold approach)

Method: Statistical exponential growth model method adopting serial interval from SARS (mean = 8.4 days, SD = 3.8 days) and MERS (mean = 7.6 days, SD = 3.4 days).

Approaches: Corresponding to a 2-fold increase in the reporting rate. R0=1/M(r)R_0 = 1/M(-r), where rr = intrinsic growth rate and MM = moment generating function.

Estimated R0R_0: 3.58 (95% CI 2.89 - 4.39).
