Epidemiology Characteristics such as the attack rate (% of individuals in an at-risk population who acquire the infection), R0 (R naught, the expected number of cases directly generated by one case in a population where all individuals are susceptible to infection), and case fatality rate (CFR, % of infected individuals who die) are contextual. That is, they depend on factors such as testing rate, population density, and control strategies that vary from location to location. These factors may also change over time. Table 1 summarizes reported epidemiologic characteristics of SARS-CoV-2.9
