We show in Appendix B that our model implies that, in order to match the levels of fatalities we observed over the sample period in U.S. states, the effective R 0 of the disease in the different states must have been substantially higher than 1 through April 2020 for the majority of the states.	cache/cord-129175-zkwxc9xy.txt	txt/cord-129175-zkwxc9xy.txt
