Last time I logged into Uber App was 23rd March. I haven't logged back into App since then because of COVID-19.

Just wondering any fellow drivers still on the road?

Is it too risky to driver because of coronavirus?

I was thinking of doing Uber eats only.

What is your opinion?

Thank you.

My rideshare driving is currently in hibernation. The factors that I took into account included my age (61) and the fact that I have a chronic condition (asthma).

Most (but not all) the drivers I know have also paused their rideshare driving.

When I check the rider app, I see that there are still many drivers on the road.

If you do continue to drive, exercise social distancing as frequently as you can and regularly disinfect your car and follow the other health advice.

I think the risk would be lower with Uber Eats but you’d still need to be vigilant.

Hi Jack,

Many thanks for your updates.

From past experience, I noticed some "cars" on Uber passenger app is not a real car. It is just phantom car drawn by Uber server.

I worked last week Mon to Fri just over 40 hours online only uberx. average 4 to 6 trip a day less then $10 /hour. and most of the time sitting at home playing Ps4 and disinfecting the car. This week is worst.

Been home sick since Wednesday last week. Seem fine today, but I will leave it until tomorrow just to be sure.

Early last week there was good business doing deliveries, and I would guess that would continue. Sucks that Eats only earns about $15 even when flat out, but it is better than nothing.
