American guests
Hi everyone ,
This is my first year of hosting. I have my ever first US couple staying with me .

We expect a Texan family in two weeks. US is no more a risk area, and we can be sure that the guests have a negative PCR test (airline requirement). And they are vaccinated.
Happy to host them.

That’s interesting. Our US media must be keeping something from us, because from what I can see, we are no worse off than many other countries, especially since the Delta variant has taken the world by storm.

@Jo620 we are off-site hosts so we don't share the space with our guests but we meet them at arrival and clean after them. We don't care where they are from our procedure is always the same bc everyone can be infected and contagious, an American same as my neighbour, vaccinated same as non vaccinated and tests are not a guarantee either.
Actually, we are happy with oversees guests bc they have to go to the quarantine so we had more 2-weeks stays in the last few months than in 4 years before 🙂

@Jo620, frankly I'm surprised at your question. If you lived in a country with extremely low infection rates, I'd maybe understand your concern. But the UK??? Aren't you concerned about your UK guests? Seriously, if you're worried about exposing yourself to the possibility of Covid from your guests, I'd stop hosting altogether (I have).

I'm healthy and vaccinated. Honestly, I wouldn't mind getting COVID now. Even if I get a "breakthrough" case, I'm not going to get really sick from it. That's what the vaccines are for. Anyway, then I would acquire the broad, robust, and enduring immunity that you get from the virus itself, and would probably never need to get another vaccine. SARS COVID-1 T-cell immunity has been found in people 17 years later.

@Jo620 With the UK infection rates as they are I don't think there is any country in the world that we would have concerns about.

If you are really concerned, ask your American guests to send you a picture of their vaccination card. I carry mine in my wallet and would be happy to provide it. Sounds to me like this is yet another vaguely "Americans are bad guests" thread veiled in some kind of covid excuse, TBH.

Americans might be statistically more dangerous than most others guests currently, but having travelled internationally they're 'probably' OK - no worse than us in the UK at any rate. I'd still be checking everyone for jabs (whichever format) at the front door and turning them away without that protection. I'm sure most will have taken sensible precautions. And you know, 3,000 miles is a long way to be sent home.

We host in the heart of America and Americans they are the only guests we cater to. Actually because of them we just had the busiest year ever and this year seems will surpass the last one. We find them very respectful, cautious and (most of them coming our way) vaccinated. I am sure those traveling overseas are broadminded enough they will be vaccinated. Ask for the proof. They will probably need it to enter UK anyhow. Best of luck!
