The Guardian published an interesting interactive visualisation article describing R0, the basic reproduction number, which is the metric used to measure the contagiousness of a pathogen. Reducing the R0 of Covid-19 is funadamental in preventing exponential infections of the virus and will determine how lockdown restrictions can be lifted.

This week I binged watched the 8 episodes of DEVS. Wow. It is difficult to review DEVS without any spoilers, apart from saying how elegantly filmed and exquisitely scored the mystery thriller is, oh and quantum computing!
