That R0 assumes we are taking essentially no measures to stop the virus though, right? I don't no much about it but it seems like the R0 would drop significantly if we keep doing social distancing, expand testing, make people wear masks, etc.

It does, but the point of getting to herd immunity is that we don't want to do any of that other stuff.

The 5.7 number comes from wuhan, during lunar new year, and before viral identification.
