Not only that, but when it comes down to who lives and who dies, as it has in Italy and Spain, it is the wealthy who will get the ventilator. And even more importantly, money has allowed the wealthy to be better prepared healthwise having had the income to afford good healthcare throughout their lives. They never had to choose between feeding their family or filling their asthma medication. People in lower economic classes are more likely to catch the disease and also more likely to die from it because of health issues. Also the wealthy have the privilege of being better able to isolate successfully, something that is not always easily done for some. And even those in lower economic classes who remain healthy are going to have to deal with the devastating effects of a loss of income and/or healthcare/insurance to a degree that the wealthy will not.
