Both Porsche And Mazda Offer Pro Bono Oil Changes To Healthcare Workers Regardless Of What They Drive
As the rate of new coronavirus cases in America finally starts to slow, doctors, nurses, and everyone else at the forefront of the fight is being stretched to their breaking points, and they need help. Not just performative clapping or a sign in your window, mind you, but actual help getting through their days; help taking care of necessities otherwise being neglected to keep someone else's loved ones alive—like getting their cars' oil changed on schedule. Fortunately, two major automakers aren't blind to healthcare workers' plights and have stepped up to the plate to offer free car care, regardless of make or model of vehicle.

And I'll bet at Mazda, while you wait they leg hump you to buy a new car.

On the surface this sounds amazing, but when you realize how small of a subset healthcare workers are of the general population, neither Mazda nor Porsche are that magnanimous.

They are pandering for PR and nothing more.

It would seem no good deed goes unpunished. No crime against doing good and making hay at the same time.

Good for them and after a week stay at the ERl and an angiogram later all I can say is THANK YOU to these heroes. I bought them all coffees and offered to pay for lunch for the whole floor but few accepted my offer but were happy that I made them the gesture and showed them some love for their craft. If you guys have any extra PPE please donate it to your local healthcare providers as they need this stuff badly or can deploy it to others whom do.

Hospitals across the USA are NOT inundated with corona victims. The workers are NOT at any more risk than any other day.

Hospitals are ghost towns.

If these people who are doing their jobs are heroes, then everyone who is working is a hero...including street walkers.

@MD - tell that to my RN wife who works in an ICU in Northern NJ. Her floor has expanded 10 fold to support all of the patients, most of which are on ventilators and never come off. The hospital is so desperate for ICU nurses, they have travel out from as far as Ohio. They are pulling nurses from every floor in the hospital, but they do not have the expertise for the required type of care, and so the proper treatment suffers. Even with that, she is working 60 hours a week.

NY and NJ have some use, but my statement still stands. Across the nation, hospitals are NOT inundated.

You are 100% correct hospitals are ghost towns as everyone is too scared to go there for a paper cut now and clogging up the system. It doesn't diminish the value of the front line workers that have to treat the Covid patients and my sister is one of them who only has 1 surgical mask to use per shift (not even N-95) due to the shortages and hoarders.

I will be the first to admit that this is so overblown and overhyped by a desperate media -many struggling for survival and I think the cure is 10X worst than the disease itself and I say this after my father in law just passed away with respiratory failure yesterday in yet another nursing home where one of the "personal care" workers on his floor just tested positive for Covid. To make matters even worse my wife who has Lupus and is on immunosuppresnants and has been isolating for the last month for her own safety (even away from me) just visited him yesterday to be with him in his final moments only to find a email from Thursday morning announcing the infected worker but didn't read it until Friday. NO signs on the enterance door. No lockdown and these assholes were still letting people in the place despite a possible outbreak and now she too is exposed along with her nut-bar sister who has COPD!

I will be demanding the manager be both fired and charged with criminal negligence for allowing people to continue to enter the building after knowing about the infection. The old man was 90 and on his way out but to risk exposure and spread of so many others is beyond comprehension.

All this however does not diminish the value and sacrifice of our front line workers (Nurses, Doctors etc) whom do risk their own personal health to care for those in need. Covid takes out the old and the weak (just like other ailments like the flu, pneumonia) but healthy, young people constantly exposed can fall victim as well once the immune system become overloaded with viral exposures. They are heroes and I don't use that word lightly.

Umm....this "All this however does not diminish the value and sacrifice of our front line workers (Nurses, Doctors etc) whom do risk their own personal health to care for those in need" is what they signed on to do as a career. Enough of the codependent, "co-feeling", narcissistic, faux empathy.

You clearly do not know the definition of a narcissist. You'd be fun to diagnose. I have fond wishes for you too.

You aren't capable of intelligent discourse, so why bother?
