@CarlBialik Nope, not on its own, given how fast COVID spreads. However, if you're combining with social distancing, it can have some effect and tip R further below 1. NYC's curve has been bending down faster than other places (some not bending down at all) and that may be part of why IMO. — PolitiTweet.org
