Julian Rai spends a lot of time in his car.“Currently, I’m a Lyft driver and I deliver for Grubhub, Postmates, and Doordash and Instacart,” Rai said.With the increasing demand for people to deliver your packages, good, and other items, it’s an industry constantly available with job opportunities, especially with the rise of delivery apps.“I can control my own time,” Rai said. “I can choose not to work if I don’t want to work that day.”“It’s becoming more and more lucrative,” HG Parsa, an economics professor at the University of Denver, said. “In the morning they do Uber. In the afternoon they go to groceries. In the evening they pick up children from school and hospital, then they go home.” He said the flexibility in this type of work can be attractive. But a job like this has its risks.“They do have contact with a lot of people,” Christina Huber, an economist at the Metropolitan State University of Denver, said. “They are really vulnerable. With the rise of coronavirus, it’ll be interesting to see how those industries evolve.”The growing number of COVID-19 cases has woken up the delivery industry to the potential threat.Postmates recently announced a “no contact” option, allowing app users to choose to have their food dropped off somewhere instead of meeting face to face. Rai said this is already happening.“Literally I’ve gotten one. I took a screenshot of this, that said ‘I have the flu, leave it outside the door’,” Rai said.“I think there’s a lot of fear about how the COVID-19 virus is gonna impact a lot of different industries,” Tsinni Russel, an owner and operator at Confluence Courier Collective, a local bike messenger company, said. “There's been a lot of talk about if it’s gonna increase delivery or decrease delivery kind of based on if people want to go out more.”He said one of the cons of working in the industry is the lack of benefits.“We also have independent contractors working for us, which is kind of the same as Postmates and Grubhub and all those other industries, and that’s just because due to the nature of the business. It’s very expensive to have employees,” Russell said.“You don’t have benefits, you don’t have healthcare, you don’t have paid time off, you don’t get sick leave,” Huber explained.Delivery workers are also exposed to the elements more frequently.“When it’s snowing outside or raining outside and people don’t want to leave their house, that’s probably when we get the busiest and make the most of our money,” Russell said.“Bad weather usually means good business for us,” Rai added.As the industry continues to grow, Huber said she sees the increasing demand from the consumer side for fast, convenient delivery.“I think we kind of reached this tipping point,” she said. “It was the smartphone's availability for the consumer and the ability for the producers to develop these apps that are so convenient for people, combined with these other large companies that got us used to the free shipping and home delivery.”Workers hope the industry -- and general understanding from customers -- will grow with it.“It’s important to remember that the people who are delivering your food,” Russell explained. “They’re just regular working class people who are just trying to make a living, so just treating everybody with respect is an important thing to do.” 3336

In Florida, golfers play by a different set of rules. And one of the rules may or may not include ignoring giant, scary alligators.Professional wakeboarder Steel Lafferty was playing golf at the ChampionsGate Country Club in Orlando on Wednesday afternoon when he had an unexpected run-in with a gator."I wasn't too worried," Lafferty told CNN."I wakeboard professionally so I'm always in the water and I've kind of been around gators my whole life. There was a bit of a worry, but it seemed like he was doing his own thing so I let him go."In a video posted to his Instagram account, Lafferty barely acknowledges the alligator, taking a shot at the same moment it strolls by. He estimated it to be about 7 feet long.Lafferty called his encounter with the alligator a "good experience.""My shot was really good and that was really the only thing I was worried about. I had to make par on the hole because we had a bet going and I was more worried about winning the bet than getting eaten."It wasn't the first time this month a Florida gator has made a dramatic appearance in an unlikely place.Videos from last week show one swimming in the middle of a busy road and another climbing a fence. 1203

INDIANAPOLIS — Indiana health officials confirmed Friday a case of COVID-19 in Indianapolis.Gov. Eric Holcomb has declared a public health emergency in Indiana.The patient is an adult male who recently traveled to Boston for an event, Indiana State Health Commissioner Dr. Kristina Box said. The man called ahead to the health department and entered Community North Hospital through a side door with health professionals.His contact with others was minimal to none, Community Health Network Physician Dr. Ram Yeleti said. The patient is now in self-isolation and was only at the hospital from about 11:30 p.m. Thursday to 2:30 a.m. Friday.Twelve people have been tested, and another 35 are being monitored for the virus, Box said.What is coronavirus, COVID-19?According to the World Health Organization, coronaviruses are "a large family of viruses that cause illness ranging from the common cold to more severe diseases such as Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS-CoV) and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS-CoV).A novel coronavirus, such as COVID-19, is a new strain that has not been previously identified in humans.COVID-19 was first identified in December 2019 in Wuhan City, Hubei Province, China and has now been detected in 37 locations across the globe, including in the U.S., according to the CDC.The CDC reports the initial patients in China has some link to a large seafood and live animal market, indicative of animal-to-person spread. A growing number of patients, however, did not report exposure to animal markets, indicating the disease is spreading person-to-person.What are the symptoms? How does it spread?Confirmed cases of COVID-19 have ranged from mild symptoms to severe illness and death, according to the CDC. Symptoms can include fever, cough, shortness of breath.The CDC said symptoms may appear in as few as two days or as long as 14 days after exposure. It is similar to the incubation period for MERS.Spread of the virus is thought to be mainly from person-to-person. Spread is between people who are in close contact with one another (within about six feet). Spread occurs via respiratory droplets produced when an infected person coughs or sneezes. The droplets can land in the mouths of noses of people who are nearby or possibly be inhaled into the lungs.According to the CDC, it may be possible for a person to get COVID-19 by touching a surface or object that has the virus on it and then touching their own mouth, nose or possibly their eyes. This is not thought to be the main way the virus spreads, the CDC said.The disease is most contagious when people are the sickest and showing the most symptoms. 2661

INDIANAPOLIS — Just to get home, families living in an Indianapolis neighborhood had to contend with large holes in an alley that were filled with water. After several complaints to the city went unanswered, one woman took matters into her own hands."They were huge. They looked like lakes. Like a little lake in the alley," Jannifer Denise said.Denise said driving down the alley just off Keystone Avenue has been hazardous for years. The alley is the only way to access her father's home, so she called the Mayor's Action Center. Her complaint has been open since 2015."The lady was like, 'I understand, they just aren't fixing the alleys right now,'" Denise said.However, matters became more urgent this summer after her father had a stroke and was diagnosed with dementia. He now requires home care."Getting help sounds great. But I panicked when they said they were going to send people out to the house and I thought how are they going to get to him?" Denise said.She hired a company and paid 0 to have stones installed on the alley."My dad said it's the city's responsibility. I said, 'It's their responsibility, but it's my problem. I have to make sure you are taken care of so I have to have someone come out and fill it,'" Denise said.The company hired to do the work is upset because they feel Denise shouldn't have to pay to get the work done."We sent out somebody and he called me and said, 'Oh, yeah. This is terrible. One load of stone will not be enough for this. The holes are so big the cars are sinking in,'" Anne McCurdy, a dispatcher with Brookfield Sand and Gravel, said.McCurdy has taken a special interest in the situation. She even called the Mayor's Action Center because she was worried Denise will have the same issue in two years."I just hope somebody can take the initiative and fix the problem," McCurdy said. "I don't think she should have to pay for it. If the city could step up, that would be awesome. Would be nice to take care of the gentleman."The Mayor's Action Center said they have more than 2,300 open cases for potholes in alleys, but it could include duplicate calls for the same chuckhole.Ben Easley, a spokesman for the Department of Public Works, said it is now DPW's current direction to prioritize addressing requests over street rehabilitation projects. However, he said more funding for transportation infrastructure maintenance would allow them to get a place to better address alleys in the future.Easley said they do not receive gas tax revenue for non-name streets like alleys, so only larger thoroughfares and residential streets are considered when allocating funding to Marion County. Since alleys are less traveled, he said streets with higher traffic volumes must remain the priority.Easley also said the Street Maintenance Team, which was introduced this year, specializes in fixing residential streets that would likely not be addressed with large infrastructure rehabilitation contracts."With the addition of the Street Maintenance Team, it is indeed possible that DPW will get to a point where we might be able to prioritize alley improvements. However, repairs to city streets with higher traffic volumes must remain the priority," Easley said. 3224
