I would tend to think the education level also plays a role, and considering wealthier individuals usually have a better access to education/are more educated (read correlation not causation here), said individuals might have a better grasp off what is happening.

Edit: Remote working is also easier when you have an office job

Edit 2: I hope more research like this will come out so we can prepare and protect the ones who are more at risk when the next pandemic comes. Uderstanding the risk factors and how a disease spreads is the first step of debugging it. Sadly it is the first pandemic where we have the necessary tools to track all the information and analyse it. We have been lucky the death rate was not much higher

That makes sense, given how much statistics they throw at you. Logarithmic scales, R numbers, per-100000 values, percentages etc. That's on top of all the numbers you must remember to relativise the daily news.

I wonder how much of it I'd grasp if I hadn't used maths since high school.
