As the nation continues to try and figure out exactly what everyone should be doing other than just staying at home, rideshare and taxi drivers around the country are freaking the fuck out.
This comes as people returning from overseas or interstate frantically pour out of airports and into their vehicles on the way to self-isolating for 14 days.
One out of work hospitality worker who has been using rideshare work to supplement his now non-existent income, explained that he’s not feeling great at the moment.
“Obviously there’s the whole debate around what I should and shouldn’t be doing. But ultimately I have to pay rent because my landlord informed me that he won’t be making any exceptions and I don’t have good family structures I can rely on when times get tough,” he explained.
“And in this current job market, I’ve got to do whatever I can to make a bit of an income, so I’ve had to do a bit of rideshare work,” he sighed.
“Obviously I have a few free disposable facemasks, heaps of sanitiser and I ask them to get the fuck in the back seat as soon as they approach the vehicle.”
“But, then you’ve got the next lot getting in the car and so on and so forth.”
“Really would have been good if we’d had some concrete and clear direction on what it is that should be done? I got told I can do this work, and I’m young and fit and don’t have any contact with older family members, but I don’t know. It’s all pretty murky right now.”
“Just feel for the people getting in this car, cause if they didn’t get the COVID-19 on the plane I’m sure they’re getting it from the people who got it on the last plane who got in the back of my car.”
“Anyway, I gotta take this next job.”
“See ya.”
