R0 is the reproduction number (R naught). Basically, how infectious the virus is and a gauge of how rapidly it spreads. An R0 of 2.5 means that if one person becomes infected, they will infect 2.5 other people. And they'll do the same, and so on. Getting the R0 below 1 means it dies out.
Infection fatality rate. How deadly it is.
