Please note that PP‘s claim of thousandfold transmissibility is faults.[/quote]
*false not faults. Voice recognition [/quote]
I'm the first quoted PP on this, and I didn't make the 1000x claim or give the Ebola classroom image.
But at this point the increased transmissibility of delta in comparison to the original covid is stated by officials to be entirely game-changing, so the number doesn't make so much of a difference - outside of the petty scorekeeping of whether falsities are shared by either 'side' of the classroom-cramming debate.[/quote]
1000x transmissibility vs the actual 50% higher transmissibility makes a huge difference and pointing it out is not petty.[/quote]
To be precise, I should say that delta is 50% more transmissible than the previously widespread alpha, which was 50% more contagious than the original strain. So that makes delta 225% more contagious than the original SARS-Cov-2, i.e. 2.25x. Very far from 1000x.[/quote]
I don't know that these figures are up-to-date.
Yesterday's news about the CDC report says delta is as contagious as chickenpox.
The R0 of chickenpox is 8.5 
The R0 of the original covid was estimated at 2.5

That's an enormous difference. 
It would be like saying "The earthquake was 10 on the Richter scale, not 11, fear-monger!" As exponential a difference that is, who GAF 10 or 11, a city's flattened, that's really bad. It's so bad that we can't even visualize how effing bad it is.
Same here. An R0 of 8.5 is so effing bad. Who cares that some anonymous rando confused the 1000x more virus produced with the difference in how contagious they are? That mistake has been everywhere for days.
