While US struggles with test shortages, ultrawealthy enclaves arrange community testing [View all]

The wealthy continue to stay ahead of the game during the coronavirus pandemic.

Healthcare companies are currently racing to roll out antibody tests that will be able to identify whether one has previously been exposed to the coronavirus, which are expected to be implemented wide-scale pretty soon. But those living in some of the country's richest enclaves are already receiving access to these much-awaited antibody tests.

Consider one ski resort town in Colorado and a private island in Miami, two wealthy communities that have obtained antibody tests for their residents. A reclusive community just outside of San Francisco will also be offering antibody testing to its residents later in April.

The rich already had advantages with diagnostic testing - testing to see if one currently has coronavirus - by hiring concierge doctors while the US lagged behind in widespread testing.
