It does. It means that it's only plummeting now, not nosediving.
And from a much lower baseline.
Yup.
Plus I don't get how they calculate the R at all, they are calculation based on 10 day incubation period, so 10 days from 4/11 is 4/2
4/11 had 217 new cases, 231 rolling average
4/1 had 417 new cases, 358 rolling average
How does .78 R make sense with any of those numbers
Also, when at least a percentage of the new cases are new imports - it's not reflective of R at all.
Basically, I think at this low rate of transmission with cases coming from the outside, R is not really meaningful
