Why Flowers and Ride Shares on Mother’s Day Will Be Extra Costly

In light of Mother’s Day, health officials are encouraging people to get vaccinated and “do it for mom.” Dr. William Schaffner said that with restaurants opening up, Mother’s Day will look more like it did pre-pandemic. While the holiday may look similar, it seems there might be a shortage of flowers due to the pandemic, and prices are on the rise. Rideshares like Uber and Lyft are also skyrocketing as people make plans to see their moms, while drivers may be spending time with their mothers too.
