A leading company focused on virtual transformation.
When the COVID-19 pandemic started, I drove out and got sad, I kept driving for Uber because I have to supply food and shelter to my 16-year-old son and attend my family circle in Peru, adding my 96 years. old mother. I’ve become an Uber driving force because I like to help people, so continuing to run is the only option. I have the car in the bank and I have a monthly payment and car insurance.
I tried to make sure he could be my son and pay my bills. I wasn’t thinking of any danger. I wouldn’t have liked to think about what might happen. I did some COVID-19 tests, fortunately they were all negative.
I go blank before and after every exit. It’s not required through Uber, but I think it’s safer for me and my customers. Blank seats, floor, seat belts, each and every one. It takes a little longer, about 3 minutes, but I need my passengers. to make me comfortable This affects how much I earn because the heist adds up. Uber sent me masks, Clorox wipes and a disinfectant spray. I bought Lysol and hand sanitist myself, and I use it a lot.
Passengers need to know if the car is blank and I need them to feel safe that it’s blank, so I reduce my window and offer them Clorox wipes before they get in the car. They appreciate it.
When they get in my car, I look them in the eye and greet them; the faster you see a person’s eyes, you can feel them; I can often say that they are afraid, that they are sad and confused; sometimes they say they’ve lost. their jobs. Lately, other people need to communicate more, they need percentages of their feelings. People are more open now.
I’m asking if you need to open the window. Fresh air is very important, it is smart to circulate the air. Nobody said he liked to leave the windows open.
After the passenger leaves, I disinfect again, wherever I touch, clean.
A passenger refused to wear her mask (although as required through Uber) because she didn’t have the virus, so I canceled the trip. I never do that because I’m polite, but I have a child and this virus is serious. If she doesn’t care about her life, she doesn’t care about others.
I’ve noticed a lot of artistic masks. A girl had a diamond-like mask, a boy had a mask that looked like Star Wars, some covering her face with a headscarf.
I had a consumer who couldn’t breathe. I took another older consumer out of the hospital, I don’t know why they let him go, he told me he had coronavirus I opened the windows when I coughed.
Lately I’ve caught other people coming and going from paintings or bars. People are back to normal.
Every night is different; no night is the same. Things have been slow in the last few months and I started driving earlier in the afternoon. Business went down in March, so I started in the morning. Every day I have up to 25 trips. When I get home, I immediately take off my clothes and take a shower; if my son is awake, I don’t hug him before I shower.
Adaptation isn’t too complicated for me. I’m still positive because life is about change. I have to adapt and be grateful for what I have. The pandemic is a tragedy, but I’m grateful to have a job. I know other people who have closed businesses and are unemployed.
I’m tired of everything we’ve been through, I’ve heard many unhappy stories from my clients. I bring you your pain. I take care of and take care of those hard months. I’m lucky to have a job; allows me to continue to know that I can people.
