New coronavirus capable of exponential growth

The video discusses the initial outbreak of a virus, which doubled in size every 7.4 days. A study in the New England Journal of Medicine highlights early human-to-human transmission. The mean incubation period was 5.2 days, with initial cases linked to the Wuhan wet market. However, later cases showed less connection to the market, indicating human transmission. The virus's reproductive number is 2.2, higher than Ebola, but can be reduced to zero with quarantine measures.

How does the reproductive number of the virus compare to that of Ebola?

What could potentially reduce the reproductive number of the virus to zero?
