• Surely that’s too broad a question.
    I’d also suggest it’s perhaps the wrong question. Given the new variant supposedly increases R by .7

    It isn't.

    I don't think so. I'm interested in what seems to continually drives transmission despite our efforts to control it. Non compliance with stay at home orders - being quite visible - might appear an obvious answer. I've no idea if it's just 'noise' (e.g. 99% compliance, 1% obvious, visible non compliance) or more significant though.

    As above, you could spunk a lot of cash on paying people to be compliant, or taking stronger measures against noncompliance, but you might find out you are fiddling with the fringes and it has no significant impact on transmission.

    (I understand that the example above is literally paying the population to stay at home - I'm not sure that's exactly what was meant by Jackc, might have been more money for enforcement or tax breaks for home working etc)
