How Airbnb is spreading COVID 19

-

 


This is an article towards booking system of Airbnb for Self Isolation and Quarantine.

Covid has already created huge pandemic around the world, and now second wave is also here. siren of ambulance is audible all day.

I am a host over Airbnb. usually guest do checkin around 2pm. i received a notification of booking confirmation at 7pm for same day booking, guy in profile photo was wearing surgical mask, that means he is travelling. when i checked his profile then i figured out that he is travelling from third country and he needed to be quarantine for at least 14 days. 


I spoke with him about his journey and quarantine thing, he said that he is coming from India and he needed to be isolate himself for 14 days but its Friday evening and he cant go to his Hostel before Monday and he is going for Covid test on Monday. His arrival time was around 11pm so he requested me to let him sleep in my place. 


I wanted to cancel the booking but for cancellation of booking for same day, you have to call Airbnb directly and they don't have Estonian helpline number. so i was forced to accept his booking. 


The guy was nice, he came and isolate himself but kitchen and bathroom was shared. i tried not to come in contact with him but Covid virus travels in air also.


After few days, he knocked my door on early morning and said "I got my reports, I am Covid Positive, I will leave this place soon". With that moment everything was changed. After few hours I received a call and email from Health Board that I have to isolate myself for next 14 days. I got so scared that I didn't came out of my room for entire day. 

  • I cant go to my office, so forget work for next 14 days.
  • I am only allowed to buy groceries, that too if I don't have any symptoms.
  • I live alone so only few friends were my lifeline but I am not allowed to meet them also. 
So, I do a humble request to everyone who is coming from third nation and wants to be in self isolation then please don't book a room with shared kitchen and Bathroom through Airbnb this could put your's and Host's life in danger. Its better to book a private room in some hotel. 

Airbnb is taking booking without even knowing the origin of guest and weather he is booking for quarantine or not. They just want to get commission.  This is so strange that Health board and Who is also not noticing this serious issue.

MY LAST SIP, PART-1

MY LAST SIP Part: 1 Tears in every sip It was 24/02/2013 the last day of my college Fest, or even the last attended Fest of our college life. After attending it, we moved to my friend’s room. We were 6 friends sitting in that room, music was very slow lights were off, expecting one small red colour lamp. We were drinking from last 2 hours; I was sitting in the corner of the room by heading towards the other friend. They all were talking, but everything was flying out of my head. Suddenly I asked my friend that “where is my cell phone?” I didn’t got the reply so I asked it for again and this time little louder, then I saw that Mangal was playing game on it; he replied “waits just giving”. I shouted I need to call Raghini so give me that phone; he followed me and gave that to me. I was calling her, but it was not reachable as she has changed the number earlier and even I know this. Wait, wait, wait. . . Let me tell you that I was not drunk because I never do that

A  JOURNEY THROUGH HER DSLR  PART - 1    Part: 1   It was about 6:00 pm and I was standing on vagator beach of Goa, facing towards the sea and keeping myself busy in watching the sun set, sun was slowly going inside the sea just like I was dieing with her slow poison given in installments. I was holding the beer with my hand and other was in my pocket and I was thinking about her, why she has done this? Have I made a mistake? Then suddenly the waves came out and wiped me, I moved towards the sea, water was up to my knees. I was trying to sit on the rocks over there and somehow I got the success also. I took out my phone from my pocket and played the song, the sound was much enough for me but the waves were so loud that they forced me to take the phone near to my ears. I was surely aware that I got a new phone few days back and the water can harm it but the beauty made me to listen the song.  I was already done with 2 beers and one was still in my hand, I was an occasio

It starts when I was in 11 th standard, my school was not so popular because of its location no girls wants to take admission in it, one day after my 10 th result I was spending my holidays somewhere out side the city so I asked one of my friend who was attending the classes that “is any new girl came to our class” he said that yes, “there are two sisters who have taken admission and a girl other girl also”.
