My confusion I suppose is that this early in the game they can't possibly have any idea "how much" more infectious it is as to be able to give a percentage figure - consider how long it took to get accurate stats back in Spring. They've identified a number of cases and that's enough for them to say its "x amount more infectious"? It just seems off. I can believe that they know its more infectious, significantly easier to transmit etc. but I think the numbers are being guesstimated for media/public consumption (as people are impatient and will not accept vagueries like "more" infectious).
