Update Shiny app
- Remove template/logic for single data entry - Change 'Add estimators' to 'About estimators'; adding estimators and viewing estimates are now done in the same tab - Swap rows and columns in estimates table (estimators as row names, datasets as column names) - Add a separate column for the serial interval to the estimates table - Add plots for daily and weekly data using the Plotly library - Remove italics from the subscript in all occurences of 'R_0' - Fix code/text formatting

<h4>What is the basic reproduction number?</h4>
<p>
- The basic reproduction number, denoted <em>R<sub>0</sub></em>, is defined as the expected number of infections caused by a
- single infectious individual when introduced into a totally susceptible population. It assumes that all individuals in a given population are susceptible to the disease,
- and that no preventive measures (such as lockdowns or vaccinations) have been enforced. It is a useful
- indicator of the transmissibility of an infectious disease during the early stages of its spread and detection.

<p>
- If <em>R<sub>0</sub></em> &lt; 1, the disease will eventually die out. On the other hand, if
- <em>R<sub>0</sub></em> &gt; 1, the disease will spread (the higher the <em>R<sub>0</sub></em>, the faster this will happen). Due to uncertainty of known data about the disease, it is difficult to
- determine <em>R<sub>0</sub></em> precisely.
- Therefore, many estimation methods exist, each based on different assumptions and yielding different estimates. It is the
- responsibility of users to employ the most appropriate estimator (or suite of estimators) given the situation at hand.
