Now about the virus, read the following two articles:

‘Social distancing’ is not the answer; it’s the problem
Where is this?
What camps?
It’s a scam and has been since day one.
WHO are these people you are talking about? WHAT camps? WHEN did you notice this firsthand? WHERE as in what state, county, city. HOW do we evacuate them peaceably?
I assume you are talking about homeless camps?
You need to define your pronoun with more precision than “the crowded.”
I think it is a question of exposure. The people who originally brought the virus into the US are the more affluent, who can afford to travel and so forth. They do not have much contact with the homeless in their encampments. So, while the homeless often live in conditions that are highly conducive to the spread of disease (and they can and do spread disease rather freely), they haven’t been exposed to Covid-19 yet.
I have said several times that the biggest surprise of this virus is the lack of impact (seemingly) on the homeless population.
The only guess I can offer is that the homeless, as a result of their lifestyle, somehow have more immunity than the rest of us. It seems counterintuitive given the factors you point out about what we think of as “health”, but they are probably more exposed to common bugs than we are and therefore they may have more immunity or a stronger immune system.
One absolute conclusion that is emerging is age and obesity greatly impact morbidity. There are very few elderly and obese homeless people in my experience.
It is an interesting question.
I’ve pondered this too and it would make an interesting study. My best guess is high levels of Vitamin D from sun exposure boosts their immune system. But really I have no idea.
Are you talking about the areas where the homeless set up their tents and crates? Those aren’t really “camps”-they are just areas inhabited by squatters-I don’t think anyone really knows how many of those people really have/don’t have the Wuhan virus-it isn’t like anyone is going in there to see-and the ones who have been living in filthy conditions for a long time might be immune to a lot of nasty things...
My guess is that the dispersal of coronavirus in homeless encampments was so frequent and widespread early on that minor infections were common, with herd immunity then quickly developing. In addition, there is some conjecture that routine marijuana use may help to combat coronavirus infection.
My theory is that the homeless, when exposed to the virus initially, are exposed to a SMALL & NON-CONTINUOUS virus load because of being out of doors in the sunshine and the wind/breezes. Small and only sporadic exposure gives the body time to build up defenses before being overwhelmed.
This contrasts with people indoors (such as nursing homes) who are largely stationary and can easily be exposed to a CONTINUOUS & LARGE viral load. The body, in these conditions, frequently will not have time to build adequate defenses before being overwhelmed.
LESSON LEARNED: Go to the beach and/or other outside location(s) for your first exposures to the virus. Alternatively, become homeless for a while.
They probably are, but the news media isn’t reporting it.
My town has a large “homeless” population. They are mostly clustered in camps around town.
By the “science and data” these are high risk people: smokers, over weight, drug users, poor nutrition, living on the edge.
You’d think the ‘rona would be blowing thru these camps like poop thru a goose. Yet our data shows no infection or deaths among them.
Why?
The homeless are eating the bodies!!!

I understand your question, and it is a good one.
