Here's another data point, and a strange one: 397 homeless people staying at one shelter in Boston tested, 146 (36%) positive, all positives asymptomatic.  I don't even know what to make of that. My first thought was systematic testing error.

Looks like the NPR article was off a bit.  A few people had symptoms:  https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/...20059618v1

Cough (7.5%), shortness of breath (1.4%), and fever (0.7%) were all uncommon among COVID-positive individuals.

The article didn't break down the number of infected people with any symptoms, but the possible range is 7.5% to 16%.  That's well within the range of some of the other studies lately implying a low IFR.

We have multiple data sources now all pointing to a low IFR and a high number of asymptomatic/mild cases.  Interesting (and good).
