Agreed. We are seeing some weak hands get shaken out. I will be curious as to how Air B and B hosts come out.

When I travel I Host with AirBnB. Last Guest was mid-March (and I was lucky to get him for a week). Nothing since and nothing on the horizon. BAD.

How do you give keys of flat if you are away ? Or you do it right before trip ?

I have 2 solutions because I am paranoid Guests will not be able to get in.

1. A lockbox with a combination. On the street near the apartment. Enter the code, get the keys. Put them back in after checkout.
2. 24 hour convenience store across the street. Give my name/number, get the keys.

There is also a company called Key Cafe with hundreds of locations that some people use. Similar to the lockbox solution but at a cafe or store, not on the street. There is a monthly fee for that service.

Nice antivirus blanket you are wearing bro :thumbsup

Also how do you explain away the thousands of people all around the world who are qualified in the field of virology?

World is round... USA most fucking certainly isn't at the centre of it.

It's one of those to get the virus on purpose ? ?

Lol no why

GFY Peoples, it has been documented that being outside greatly reduces the possibility of transmission. There is a viral exposure (quantity + time) that is exacerbated by small spaces and almost nullified by being outdoors.

Man I miss having a beer with friends.

Yep, beside after 25th indoor parties will be allowed too so it does not matter any more.

There must be such parties . . . I remember forums where people were looking to hook up with VIH patients.

I think you reffering to "slovenian roulette" but in this no such thing as current daily infection rate is very small and it would take really bad luck to get it.

Three Russian doctors fall from hospital windows, raising questions amid coronavirus pandemic

What is going on in Russia ?

A brothel, as usually. Putin is sitting in his bunker and says that he don't give a fuck. He says that the local governments must act like they want. The Moscow mayor has decided to make digital passes for people. He is a clinical idiot (that's a proven fact), so the thousands of people were infected in the subway, staying in lines. Other mayors and governors simply lock people up in the hospitals with the medical personnel (yes, they lock them up too with the infected people).

I can't tell you a whole picture about the situation in Russia, because it doesn't exist. We have 89 states (federation subjects) and as Putin said: each for himself - because the old psycho doesn't care (the clown always do that if something bad happens). It's a real circus in Russia now.

This must be HUGE news in the US or are "they" hiding it from you?

Sailors on sidelined aircraft carrier get coronavirus for second time.

https://www.smh.com.au/world/north-a...16-p54tj5.html

Five US sailors on an aircraft carrier sidelined in Guam due to a COVID-19 outbreak have been diagnosed with the virus for the second time and have been taken off the ship, according to the Navy.

The resurgence of the virus in the five sailors on the USS Theodore Roosevelt underscores the befuddling behaviour of the highly contagious virus and raises questions about how troops who test positive can be reintegrated into the military, particularly on ships.

Slovenia first EU country which declared pandemic end.

On last week I had some runny nose, without high temp. Only one week. And after it finished. Can be corona?

Runny nose is symptom of allergy, so you might check for that.

500 :Oh crap


My aunt is still on a ventilator. Each day that passes i lose that little bit more faith that she'll pull through...

:(

Sad to hear that. Hope she'll get well.

Hey guys,

I hope all are well during this difficult time. My family in PR have been in serious lockdown for the past two months. Still can’t take a swim at the beach although they could stroll around the block with social distancing. Fortunately, their confirmed cases are under control and the death rate is smaller than expected.

Stay safe. We will get through this.

Welcome aboard . . .

In my personal opinion, I believe this 'coronavirus' thing, will soon come back, maybe this year, or the next year... It will be even worse, than it currently is.

Stay safe people!

its coming back in September, according to the latest news Chine is ready to blow once agan

I had an airbnb with a number lock they could change from a distance. No key needed.

Welcome Gabi- we're actually based in Puerto Rico! Curfew has been extended to June 15, but they are gradually letting some businesses operate in moderation... There's a lot of controversy over this. Local offline businesses are suffering the most because of the lockdown. I just hope that, as businesses start to open their doors, people remain respectful and well aware that this isn't over yet. Stay safe!

Couple more org :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh laughs for this :1orglaugh

Nice! I like those too but I want to keep the whole AirBnB thing on the down low. A fancy key pad door lock thingy might set off alarms. LOL But I do like those locks you can unlock from your phone with a code. :thumbsup

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Interesting, didn't know such thing already exist, however i see culprit - what if battery dies and you dont have a hardware key? Then you stay locked out.

I know for houses you avoid the battery issue by connecting it to the doorbell wiring I think. For apartments I am not sure. But I always have 2-3 backups for keys since I am paranoid about being locked out. :)

Italy published recently official death stats for cov2 cases.

Yes, this horrible Italy, "oh nooo Italy oh no we going to die, lockdown us for life please for our safety", like many of you idiots were shouting recently.

So the stats are.
Average age of deceased due to cov2 - 80 years old.
96 % of people that died had some other health issues ongoing (hypertension, diabetes etc).

Most of them they had 3 and more ongoing health problems.
1 % of people that died because of covid were 50 years old and younger.

On the other hand, hospitals are pressuring doctors to add Covid-19 on death certificates. Why would they do this? To maybe increase the numbers, and make it look a little bit worse than it is? We know that more testing means more reliable data on confirmed cases, but unlike earlier calculations, the death rate will be smaller and smaller, because it has been proven that the majority of people will recover and not die from Covid-19 unless their health is compromised.

Oh so sorry to hear!It's quite awful! Hope she does recover quickly though.

You dont even need to do "a lot" of testing.

What you need to do is to just select represantative part of the society (up to 10,000-20,000 people in a country big like USA) and test them FOR ANTIBODIES of covid.

Later extrapolate that number to the whole society.
If you properly selected people for this probe, the results will be more or less accurate for the whole society. "how many people already had it"
This is how the statistics and polls work...
Accurate +- 5 %.

You mean the Italian government ??

Something is up with Italian government and their involvement in this whole pandemic. Like someone gave them a lot of money to make covid seem like a death sentence. Their numbers are not in line with other countries, neither are NYC who blatantly pushed covid sick into nursing homes which then spread to everyone. Like systematic killing of elderly.
