Video Coronavirus: The struggle of being a ride-share driver
March 25, 2020 at 16:49
A stimulus package worth more than $1.8 trillion (£1.5tn) has been agreed by US Senate leaders and the White House to ease the impact of coronavirus.
The pandemic has destabilised the gig economy, leaving tens of thousands of ride-share drivers in the United States in economic limbo.
Julie Davis is a full-time ride-share driver in Seattle, where the first cases of Covid-19 in the US were registered.
In a first-person take, she chronicles the struggles faced by drivers.
