Interesting CV stats from LA County.

[trackfan]

The cities and neighborhoods with the highest CV rates per 100,000 residents are, for the most part, the richest ones. For instance, ritzy Hancock Park is 200.91, while my poor Highland Park is 18.68. Any theories? Travel? More testing? ???

1. Rich people without symptoms get tested. Poor people suffering with symptoms don't. n/t

6. DING... we have a winner.

2. Both Factors Seem To Contribute, Sir

Certainly, at least in the early stages, the current plague seemed no respecter of status....

3. Rich people travel more

International travel, too. It's a big perk of being rich.

Notice quite a few high profile people getting diagnosed.

4. The wealthy spend more time traveling around?

9. They have access to testing would be my guess

[Raine]

5. Wealthy and well connected travel

much more is my guess.

7. I think it's more likely that rich can get tested.

[Merlot]

8. It's just the testing numbers

If we were all tested, I doubt there would be much difference in rates. Rich people right now have access to testing that the rest of us mere mortals don't.

BTW, Howdy Neighbor! I'm right across the bridge from HP. Miss going there so much!
