First of all moron... R0 is not universal.....
We already did this twice. Both times I have proven this to you...
Do you realize what a fucking moron a person is who refuses to accept science.... and then while refusing to learn... flips the argument on the other person...
But... I will prove it again...
A.... This is what you wrote...
"Do you understand that there is only one Rnaught figure that applies to ALL of humanity. There is not one Rnaught figure for low risk people and a different Rnaught figure for high risk people. Until you state that you clearly understand this and accept it as undisputed fact then it is not even worth having a discussion with you."
And this is one of many proofs to show you you are wrong...
B. R0 for TB ranges throughout the world from... .23 in the Netherlands to 4.3 in China..

Quantifying TB transmission: a systematic review of reproduction number and serial interval estimates for tuberculosis
The reproductive number and serial interval (SI) are two key quantities in describing transmission of an infectious disease. The reproductive number is defined as the average number of secondary cases a primary infectious case will produce. In a totally susceptible population, it is referred to as the basic reproductive number (R0)....
....
Two hundred and thirty-seven articles were identified for the reproductive number of TB. Additionally, 6 articles were included based on reviewing titles and abstracts of the articles that were referenced in the 237 articles, making the total number of articles 243. Fifty-six articles met our inclusion criteria and are described below. Three articles used either approximate Bayesian or exact likelihood methods, 24 articles used either a mathematical model fit with empirical data or a descriptive/regression approach on empirical data, and 29 articles used a simulation based mathematical model (Figure 3). Explicit estimates were extracted and summarized in Figure 4. The estimates range from as low as 0.26 for the Netherlands in 1993-2007 to as high as 4.3 in China in 2012.

If you don't even understand the scientific definition of Rnaught then there is really no purpose in continuing the discussion with you.
