"The idea that the pandemic travels across frontiers and affects the whole of the world's population is only a half-truth. There is one kind of boundary that the virus does seem to respect: that of social inequalities. And this is not only about a contrast between the northern and southern hemispheres; these frontiers can apply within a single city. HesaMag takes a trip to Barcelona to reveal one of the cases that most clearly shows the effect of social inequalities on the spread of the pandemic. While the virus swept through the working-class district of El Besòs i el Maresme, it stopped short at the Avenida Diagonal, scrupulously respecting the income level of the adjacent neighbourhood, a recently built luxury quarter."
