Actually, what I tried to say is that prior to becoming a common disease, it was a rare disease for a while, and precisely because it wasn't common, expecting it to be found often is unreasonable. Saying that a find is unlikely because most people found nothing is meaningless, because we already know that the virus wasn't common before it became common.

I looked up the test they used, and it's among the better ones.
