      R value will depend on behavior and population. Measles surely has a lower R value right now due to mask wearing and a chunk of the population staying home. Also it matters whether they're distinguishing between vaccinated and unvaccinated - the 18 is with no vaccination.

          Yes exactly. And because the population is gaining more immunity over time (vaccines + immunity after getting infected), these high R0 values mean it's getting more infectious.
