Despite New Yorkers being told to stay at home, 59-year-old
Hollis, Queens, resident Eduardo Marino has been busier than ever
driving passengers for Uber and Lyft.
Before, I worked about 40 hours per week; now, maybe 60 hours. In the
last week, I’ve made 20 trips to grocery stores to pick up riders. It’s
usually five per week. I’ve also made 25 trips to and from hospitals —
twice as many as normal.
Every day, I disinfect my car with Clorox wipes, then I spray a coat
of Lysol. After every two or three passengers, I pull over and disinfect
the car all over again. My sister, who’s a health aide, gave me latex
gloves and masks. I’m looking out for my passengers, for myself, and for
my 88-year-old mother, who I live with.
I’m not scared. If I feel afraid, then I may as well stay home. I
cannot think that, if a passenger starts coughing a bit, they have
coronavirus. When I drop them off, I say goodbye and good luck.
