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.
While your answer does seem counter-intuitive to what we might think is the case, I think you are correct about their lifestyle exposing them to more diseases which has strengthened their immune syste. In other words, I agree with your answer. 8>)

The answer is very simple, this is not a “deadly” virus. Its a run of the mill respiratory infection that’s been hyped beyond all basic sense
