Yes, that's the first possible reason.
The second takes us back to genes again.
Explain.
Not all redheads have the right genes.
Theoretically, yes.
But there's another twist in the tale.
Enter the secret redhead.
Yeah.
Wait, Tim, why are you holding that cattle prod?
I might have the wrong genes, Tim.
Well, this 20% figure appeared in news reports back in November, but I'm afraid it was based on a misunderstanding of some data put out by Public Health England.
Let's suppose for a moment, Tim, that you have tested positive for COVID-19.
Your details get sent to NHS Test and Trace, and then they contact you to find out where you've been and who you've been hanging out with.
If you've been to the supermarket recently, you'd obviously tell them.
Obviously I would.
Now, there are a handful of tables put out weekly by Public Health England, which list the locations that people with confirmed Covid tests have said they went to in the days running up to the test.
Places such as GP surgeries, public transport and supermarkets.
But the tables don't claim to be proof of where someone caught the virus.
They just list the types of places people have been frequenting.
Yeah, although the journalistic confusion goes deeper because the original source of this claim was a table which analysed a quarter of the cases in detail.
