Joe Cicchetti has always had and loved vitntage cars and said “When thecoronavirusfirst happened, I thought of making a corona car just to make it ... and the idea kind of sat for awhile.”
These days this idea is now fully in motion — and goes far beyond merely refurbishing a car to its former glory. Cicchetti launched a service this month in which they pick up people from their homes in their self-designed coronavirus car and drive them to their vaccine appointments free of charge. They call this service “Joe’s Covee Car,” a name they decided upon as a result of both a technical issue and an interest in slang words for the coronavirus.
They are both fully vaccinated, and will drive people to any appointment that is no more than an hour away from where they pick them up. Passengers are asked to adhere to guidelines that include wearing a mask while in the car, disinfecting their hands with sanitizer offered by the driver, and allowing the driver to check their temperature prior to the drive.
