Boston’s Pine Street Inn - essentially a homeless shelter for street bums - test 146 residents and all 146 residents tested positive. All were asymptomatic. This implies that at the 95% confidence level, survival rates are close to 98%. The chances of tossing 146 heads in 146 tries with coin that comes up heads 98% of the time is only 5.2%.

Saw a video of a Doctor discussing this term "asymptomatic" the other day. He points out that everyone is asymptomatic" until they develop symptoms, and that can be anywhere from 12 days up to 28 days.

Have these bums been without symptoms for 28 days?

“Out of the people from Pine Street Inn who were isolated after positive test results, O’Connell says, one ended up in the hospital and some developed mild cold symptoms.” - https://www.wbur.org/commonhealth/2020/04/15/boston-homeless-population-coronavirus-asymptomatic-universal-testing
