The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is now “actively looking into” results from universal COVID-19 testing at a Boston homeless shelter.

The broad-scale testing took place at the Pine Street Inn homeless shelter in Boston’s South End a week and a half ago because of a small cluster of cases there.

Of the 397 people tested, 146 people tested positive. Not a single one had any symptoms.

Those homeless guys have pretty good immune systems, they been exposed to a lot of crap.

Let me guess. The sick ones are clogging up the emergency rooms.

Really worth a visit, links to big name press and government sources for data. Site has few comments, lots of links.

Actually that observation has a lot of truth to it.

Wow, they released the data.
Better than the dirt bags at Stanford med.

Stanford has had the data for almost 2 weeks yet no release.

another hypothesis is that the test is not
specific for SARS_CoV-2 but just picks up coronavirus.

If thing killed homeless, the dead bodies would be stacked 3 deep in California.

When CA got locked down, were the homeless confined to their cardboard boxes?

Not a single one had any symptoms.

This week. Try again next year.

Interesting - but not surprising.

1. Most likely NeverTrumpers/TDS sufferers
2. They're still getting a paycheck.

Street people aren’t fat. Lots of fresh air. Some drug abuse is protective? Do they get special immunizations at shelters, like for TB?

[Let's Roll]

Alcohol is a great preservative.

The weak have already died long before this virus cropped up.

[DannyTN]

The sick ones are clogging up the emergency room.

That is a possibility. Who's not at the homeless shelter who normally would be? And where are they now?

WOW !!   Really worth a visit

Go back to #4 on this thread and follow the link, if you haven't already.

More important, the homeless are not re-breathing their own virus-laden air INSIDE moist bacteria traps (er, masks) all day. They have free access to clean dry air.

Probably a combined Flu and Pneumonia shot.

Carlin Hygiene ping!

So 37% of the 397 were positive and asymptomatic..... They should have tested the remaining 63% for antibodies..... I’d bet at least half of them had the virus already and got over it
