On Tuesday morning, Anil Subba, a Nepalese immigrant and Uber driver, died from coronavirus, the first known Uber driver to die of the disease. Subba had stopped driving two weeks ago to avoid catching the disease. His death makes clear that Uber must shut down its normal operations, now, before more people die. > Subba stopped driving, despite Uber being his household’s sole income source, after realizing he transported a sick passenger from JFK Airport to Westchester County. He was unlucky—randomly selected by an algorithm to die. He died alone, hooked up to a ventilator for two days before passing away just after midnight.
