If you're sleepless, this has been just announced by UK prime minister as official alert scoring system:

* R is a floating number <6
* number of infections an integer from 0 to 80'000'000
* COVID alert level is an integer 1-5

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@kravietz Maybe they forgot the log part of the equation? Yeah, maths.

@supernova That was my thinking too but log doesn't really help - it will be usually in the range 3-5 so with R0 in the range of 0.3-3 it still goes wrong eventually.
