gollark: The reason I think the assumption isn't great is that people see each other in multiple gatherings and so one person being infected means others are more likely to be and vice versa
gollark: It replicates what <@215706991748841473>'s code does. Also, I'm not sure exactly what you're saying.
gollark: (the code makes the same simplifying assumption anyway)
gollark: I'm pretty sure that (assuming the probability of each person at the gathering having COVID-19 is independent and just equal to the fraction of the population which us infected, which is not true but important to simplify) the number of people at the gathering who have it follows the binomial distribution.
gollark: =tex 1 - \left ( 1 - \frac{P_{covid}}{P} \right ) ^{N_{gathering}}
