Survival of the Weakest 02

Physical Health of Rich and Poor

Lives of Rich and Poor
Rich people lead their lives in safe and clean environments. They have all kind of protections and high tech medical treatment on their disposal.
On the other hand, poorer people live in relatively unclean environment and they face all kinds of pathogens and get sick all the time. They also lack all kinds of medicines and state of the art treatment.

Fatalities
But the fatality rate of poorer people due to health problems is not very high compare to the rich people.

Under the Hood
When the rich and clean people don't get sick and they are safe from all kinds of less and more dangerous pathogens, their immune systems remain weaker and inexperienced. They develop several kinds of allergies to benign things. Consequently, they become more prone to several kinds of illnesses from the ordinary things all around in natural environment.
On the other hand, the poor people immune systems develop and fight the dangerous pathogens and don't get easily sick, due to early repetitive exposures. They also have least number of allergies and are not threatened by substances commonly found in natural environment.

Struggle in Opposite Direction?
Humans regularly strive to collect as more resources as possible, which apparently increases their survival odds. Apparently, success in this struggle for richness should make people strong in almost all aspects, but on average physically rich people are weaker than the working class poorer people. This phenomena shows more visible drastic results related to survival of rich people compared to poorer people in cases of sudden catastrophes affecting everybody equally, like floods,storms, earthquakes, war, etc.
