Pandemic ==> inequality

New Paper: Mobile phone (GPS) data shows

1.  Richer and younger New York City residents are able to shelter in second homes and with friends and family away from the epicenter of the outbreak. 
2.  Low-income, black, and Hispanic are likely to be frontline workers, while other populations are more easily able to work remotely. 
3.  Similarly, they are likely to have higher frequency of visits to retail establishments instead of ordering food and groceries delivery services

Bottom line:  these factors likely explain why the disease spreads more easily among poorer, older, and minority populations.
