That's more a matter of social status and stature. Genes (some of which handle our immune systems) do, however, turn on and off depending upon environment and nutrition. Both of these have a tendency to change over the decades and kids raised cleaner than normal do not always grow up into a lifestyle of the rich, famous and healthy, a majority of whom drop down to the bottom of that social ladder -- or sliding board, sometimes even off a cliff into homelessness.
To counter this, though, I believe our homeless population might be doing surprisingly well in this pandemic.
Over the past couple hundred years the human race has experienced amazing advances that assist in so many ways, ways unimaginable to our great great grandparents, or the nation's founding fathers. Advances that will likely support our next step along the evolutionary trail.
Just doing a lot of open thinking on the subject. Time will have to measure the final outcome of COVID-19.
Genes don't pick rich or poor . . .
