"I must keep driving"
Melinda Miner is a rideshare driver in Seattle. She can't afford to stop working. So how does she stay safe during a coronavirus outbreak?
Record host Bill Radke spoke to Melinda Miner about her experience as an Uber and Lyft driver during the outbreak.
Melinda says she hasn't received much information from either company about what she should do during this outbreak.
Instead she's left frustrated with the lack of services or assistance available from either company, or from the state.
But for now, unless she's showing symptoms of COVID-19, Miner plans to keep driving.
