Are you hosts stooping to lowering your prices during this COVID-19 shutdown?

Are you hosts stooping to lowering your prices during this COVID-19 shutdown? I sure aren't. I see some dropping their prices 25% to 40%. By doing that, I think you're increasing your risk of attracting some very undesirable guests.

@Mark116  You're at a red light. There's no traffic as far as you can see in any direction. It seems ridiculous to sit at the red light, so you drive on through it. But there was a cop hidden around the corner and he stops you and tickets you. There are situations where you don't get to make your own risk assessment, in spite of your civil liberties.

3 of our kids have lost their jobs & will face a hard time finding new ones at anything like their old scale of pay, the unemployment benefits are pretty **bleep** meager compared to their previous  income, the kid with a cafe never had a shot at the"small" business loans that went to favored states & larger businesses, my precious step daughter has asthma as does the kid with a cafe as do 4 dear friends. My dad spent the last terrible days of his life on a ventilator.& my beloved spouse just turned 76. I don't know anyone who is happy we are shut down, we are just glad .we did it as soon as we did, we are grateful to not be in New York or Massachusetts position ( my daughter's dear friend there  has now  lost both her sister and her mom,  L went straight from school to the front lines )

The other states will do as they see fit, I just don't want them spreading the virus back to us after all the sacrifices we have made. Until there's a vaccine, please don't come to the Golden state, if you think you are just fine in your home state with no need for social distancing, fine, great,

 please STAY THERE.

On a side note, here in Los Angeles, they are talking about housing the homeless in hotels. OK. Well maybe this will leave whatever few travelers that there are coming to LA with less choices. Hopefully this helps drive people to Airbnb. I'm gonna give it until the end of June. I'll shut down until next year if I don't have any bookings by then.
