You say it, but these are not facts.
Of course it is easier for the upper class to do social distancing. That doesn't explain anything.
Even if all races and income groups isolated to the same degree...more of the poor would die...because they smoke more, eat worse, and are overweight. Just like they die from anything else everyday...smoking, heart disease, diabetes, violence, etc etc.
High income people like doctors and nurses are probably the most at risk day to day currently.
Now if you want to question why the poor do those things...then that is a different discussion.
