Please it’s a very serious question, are there any chances that government will help private hire, taxi driver or you can say all self employed, as I am a private hire driver driving for Uber for almost 5 years and now sitting at home with fever and body pain and constant thinking how going to pay bills and rent

Have you contacted UBER to see how they are going to help you?

Anyone with a fully functioning brain know that you are on your own and just an insignificant piece of dust in their machine. They know drivers are going to work even if sick, so as long as those 25% keep rolling in, their "workforce" will get jack sh1t and come running back when this blows over

They have stated that they have cash in reserves to get through this ,at very minimum the cash in the clean air fund should be returned to London drivers

Every self employed person should have insurance to cover this .
