Have you read your Public Health Act?

It should have what the standard requirements are for cleaning when someone who has had an infectious disease in your home has.

 

Try locate the earlier Public Health Acts from your region if you can, the pre 1950 ones are a great read & very informative 😉

There's some great stuff in the earlier Public Health Acts about cleaning of handkerchiefs / tissues. Heaven forbid if they ever dare include the use of masks in them..

 

Fred, maybe you  &  Mia could design some handkerchiefs for your guests to give to them... practical & multipurpose, used for bandages, face masks, hair pieces and loin clothes like they used to be, quite unlike masks...maybe the makers of masks want to create a MASK ISLAND in the ocean to create a unique accommodation experience, a bit like the ole PLASTIC bag floating ISLANDS we now have as that's where unfortunately single use PPE/ PEP rubbish will be disposed to.

 

There's a very valid reason people were gifted cotton handkerchiefs & woollen socks for birthdays & Christmas....as much and all as people got sick of receiving them they do go hand in hand with cleanliness & warmth & influenzas...and can be used many a time

Airbnb, where is this opt in that was supposed to be offered in May? How can we assure 24 hour buffer, is this a new setting coming to airbnb?

I turned on the Booking Buffer, then immediately encountered a problem when a guest asked to extend her stay by one day. I turned off the buffer to free up the day for her to book, but the buffer has not cleared from my calendar. Any suggestions please?

Hiya @Pam1362 ,

 

Doesn't sound right to me. Have your tried clearing your cache to see if it is then correctly removed? Otherwise, would you mind sharing a screenshot and some details about the device you are using (desktop/mobile device)? I can go ahead and lodge a bug with the QA team if the former doesn't sort it out.

 

Thanks,

 

Stephanie
