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}}
