The Delta variant is the fastest, fittest and most formidable version of the coronavirus that causes COVID-19 the world has encountered, and it is upending assumptions about the disease even as nations loosen restrictions and open their economies, according to virologists and epidemiologists.
The original estimated R0 for wild-type Covid was in the high 2's - Alpha was about 60% more infectious than wild-type, and Delta 60% more infectious than Alpha. This article estimates the R0 at 6.5 with a margin of error of 2.5 in each direction (so as little as 4 or as great as 9).
