That doesn't make any sense given that this applies to all those who are self-employed, not just those getting paid via Uber and Airbnb:

> In crafting their coronavirus aid package, lawmakers in Congress opted against wading into the thorny war over who qualifies as an employee. Instead, lawmakers set up a fund focused on self-employed workers affected by the outbreak yet ineligible to receive traditional unemployment insurance.

Not sure what the situation is but because Clovis is a black swan event Canada has expanded the Employment Insurance to include small business owners, who are normally not eligible.

I believe unless Airbnb host and Uber driver seek on going EI benefit, they shouldn’t need to pay.
