Assume we infect 1 person. How many infections occur within 'g' generations, assuming that the expected number of transmissions is R_0?
R_0
1 + R_0 + R_0^2 + ... + R_0^g = [1-R_0^{g+1}]/[1-R_0]
[need to add discussion about why successive generations are just R_0^n]
If R_0<0 what is the limit as g -> infinity?
1/[1-R_0]
