Somebody's Russian to meddle with UK coronavirus vaccine efforts, but GCHQ won't take it lying down

Re: Still confused about the 90%

I'm no AC.

Yes, I understand all that, but I still feel the environmental factors of the testing group should be much more relevant. It's like lining up a bunch of people from two groups, with the first group slightly more concentrated into one area, and throwing a can of paint at them. It would be understandable that the group that is more concentrated—even if by slight margins—in that area would be more likely to get splashed.

I'm no conspiracy theorist, I just find it hard to trust the infection rate to sample size ratio. I don't feel it's a controlled enough test. With all the misinformation and conspiracy theories surrounding the virus, wouldn't you want more concrete results too?
