Some great data from Ohio, where
ohio began mass testing in prisons on April 11. The state now reports 3312 #SARS_CoV2 positive tests and 8 deaths among prisoners, 302 positive tests and 1 death among staff, for an infection fatality rate of 0.25%.
Two points here - the deaths are likely to keep rising (two overnight), so this may understate the current IFR; on the other hand, this population has high comorbidities and many tests remain pending.
Overall, yet more evidence of very widespread asymptomatic transmission.
