They were spending more time with friends who are presumably mostly wealthy like them and less with family and neighbors. Partly that's probably down to the fact that rich people don't need to ask their families or neighbors for help.

Need a babysitter? No need to call your mom if you have a nanny. Heading out of town? Don't phone the neighbor, just set the alarm. But a tendency among the wealthy to avoid contact with others in the community has been suggested by other studies too.

Billionaire Kenneth Langone , cofounder of the Home Depot chain, has connections for his own healthcare needs.

Langone has a hospital named after him NYU Langone Health and is able to freely contact top medical and science professionals. Gwyneth Paltrow , starred in the virus-outbreak movie Contagion. While on a jet, Paltrow posted a selfie on Instagram showing her face mask at the time, regular people were advised that masks were not necessary.
