Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:Limitations: Our study is limited by several factors. First, we used the NYT dataset; data was recorded by reported date and not by day of symptom onset. Given the time difference between the transmission events and subsequent symptom onset, testing, and case reporting, the Rt estimates should reflect transmission that had happened several days ago (the sum of the incubation period and the delay to testing and case reporting). Second, our data does not differentiate between imported and community transmission cases. Third, cases may be underreported due to limited testing capacity, or they may be mild or asymptomatic cases. Fourth, our analysis is right-censored by June 14, 2020. Future studies can further extend the analysis as the pandemic progresses. Fifth, in addition to the two methods utilized here, there are other statistical methods that estimate Rt (Gostic et al. 2020; O’Driscoll et al. 2020), e.g., the case reproduction number method as proposed by Walling and Teunis (2004) but they are out-of-scope for this paper.
