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.

Gain of function and a ready made vaccine. Also, I said there is no collapse of society when the have full automation. There is no loss for them.
