You might find it interesting to know that wealthy neighborhoods in southern California have the highest infection rate compared to working class and poor neighborhoods. Their infection rate is 100/100K, whereas the infection rate in less prestigious neighborhoods was more like 25/100K. I suspect that because they are so used to living such charmed lives that they don’t think anything bad will happen to them. They think their wealth and being in a wealthy neighborhood will protect them. Feeling privileged has its downsides, apparently.
