On 23 May 2020, during a livestreamed press conference, Giulio Gallera, then Lombardy's welfare councillor, tried to explain the Rt transmission index measured at 0.51, claiming it meant you needed two positive people to infect one, the exact opposite of what the index actually measures, the average number of people infected by a single sick person.
