@Donald28
Your situation is a lot different to mine Donald. Your state may have opened it's borders but your current COVID-19 infection rate in Georgia is out of control.......900 new cases each day that goes by! You currently have over 57,000 active cases in your state.
These above figures are current! Georgia is ranked 10th amongst US states for COVID-19 infections! There is no way on Gods earth I would be hosting in the current environment in your state of Georgia, Don!
In my state there has not been one new case of COVID-19 since May 26th! There has only been two new reported cases in the last 2 months since April 22nd. There is no COVID-19 in my state, and yet our borders are still closed to 2 other states where there are active new cases, and closed totally to international travelers. I assess the risk of every guest that wants to come here!
The chance of someone either bringing, or catching coronavirus in my listing is essentially, zero! Although this graph is current as of 22nd June it stops at May 26th because there has been nothing since. We only had 4 total deaths in this state compared to your 2,643 in Georgia.
You have more chance of being bitten by a shark swimming in the ocean than getting coronavirus here! But we still have a raft of social distancing measures in place which we can be fined for breaking.
So having said that you can see why your post won't get a lot of up-votes....most hosts will be considering that you are taking unnecessary risks Don.
Although your state government has made a decision to consider the economy before lives, I guess their rationale being....if you don't have a healthy economy, you have an even greater loss of life! That's not for me to judge.
I would, like probably most other hosts in your area, consider hosting just now to be an unacceptable risk despite what your state says. But there is still that pool of people who need to travel for one reason or another and that is probably why you are getting a lot of bookings.....most hosts have borded up their listings!
I am happy for you that it is back to business as usual Don and best of luck to you. I do think though that you are a brave man sticking your neck out, you are taking a massive risk!
I am hosting in a sterile environment compared to you.
Cheers........Rob
