Currently the mortality rate in Italy is running at around 8%… The challenge at the moment is that too many factors are still unknown. The panic seems disproportionate, but the mortality rate in Italy suggests it is critical to try and reduce the rate of transmission in the population. Tourism all over the world is taking a major hit and the situation will get worse before it gets better, so prepare for reduced income and plan for it as best you can.

With spring on the way, I don’t see it getting worse. The only thing that is getting worse is the panic because our media makes money if they scare us.
Also, what is the age of those in Italy?

Leave out the word “not” and you are correct. Otherwise, do some research.
Geez, I just realized who this is. Fooled me with the cute puppy picture.
On a completely unrelated note, here is how you can ignore a user on this forum:
Go to their profile by clicking on their profile picture, then on the larger picture.
Once you are on their profile page, click on the “Normal” button at the top right. Choose “Ignore” from the drop down menu.
Pick an Ignore time limit from the menu (why is there not an “eternity” option?), then click “Ignore”.
Success! Don’t feed the trolls and they will move on to greener pastures.

And then you can only listen to uneducated hateful people like this guy.
Such as what? Enough of what?
Are you so stupid that you intentionally used an article, written well over a month ago, to try and prove your point over @RiverRock ?
CV19 has been declared a pandemic by the WHO, not the media, and in the space of a month the global situation has changed drastically.
From a hosting perspective, I don’t suppose there’s any harm in you burying your head in the sand; going by your other post you don’t have any guests, therefore no need to worry about cancellations.

My most recent one was from 2 days ago. If you are only on here to start a fight, then go away.
Sorry about your situation and all other Hosts that are affected by this.
The age of the dead is irrelevant.
It is the SPREAD of the virus that is the issue.
Risk Management is being advised in an attempt to contain the virus and mitigate the spread of this virus.
It was officially labelled a PANDEMIC yesterday
The age is relevant. Here, the average age is 80. Why? Because the immune system of that age is weak. Most who have died were already in a nursing home.
Learn the facts.
As the poster of this thread I would ask that you go away.
Update:
The family staying in my Guest House showed up anyway. Their flight was not going to be refunded.
The family that booked my Villa canceled on VRBO and they honored my cancellation policy of no refund.
The family that booked my Cottage for a full week when graduation activities are only through Saturday said they were going to cancel, but didn’t as of yet. It doesn’t look like anyone is there, no cars. So I’ll have to wait to see if they cancel via AirBnB.

Flight?
Thanks for the update. I hope these families have a good visit and leave good reviews.

The word fight kind of fit as well.
Here’s what happened in Italy. I don’t want it happening in my community. Follow all precautions, folks!
Per Dr. Fauci, when this is over the mortality rate for CV19 is expected to be 1%.
That’s TEN times the mortality rate for the flu.
The “number of death” comparison you’re making between annual flu deaths for CV19 and the flu are misleading, due to CV19 infections being so low compared to flu infections.
If we don’t stop the spread, and Coronavirus infects tens or hundreds of millions, the number of deaths will greatly exceed the number of deaths due to the flu.
You do understand the efforts made today impact our tomorrow, yes?
