We’ve seen a lot of these rich families get very sick with preventable diseases. I don’t think they could maintain any less likelihood of catching a highly virulent virus. If it spreads a lot it’s going to mutate quickly as well.
People don’t tend to like being cloistered away for 2+ years during such an event. It also means a collapse of society and far less fun stuff. Especially when some of the elites eventually get the job of moving the corpses for places they plan to reclaim.
