They say money can’t buy happiness, but it can buy the kind of lifestyle that allows a person to social distance during a dangerous pandemic.
That may not be a surprise to anyone who remembers rich people fleeing crowded cities and snapping up secluded vacation homes last spring, but the researchers were able to measure the different responses to the pandemic beyond anecdotal reports. People making about $230,000 a year were 54% more likely to take self-protective action than people making $13,000, according to the study, which surveyed 1,000 people in the U.S last April.More Related News
