When examining R 0i values (calculated from R Ei estimates), we found that outbreaks had 250 considerably higher basic reproduction numbers based on the index case(s) (R 0,1 = 6.8, 1.5, 8.4, 251 7.3, 4.6, and 8.7 for outbreaks 1-6, respectively) compared to the median basic reproduction 252 number calculated from cases on days 2 to 4 (median R 0,2-4 = 1.7; .....
