I tend to forget, I am an AirBnB host.

For about 7 years I welcomed guests to our home, always had people staying in our guestroom.

Now for months it has been just the two of us, me and my son. Normally home alone would feel like a holiday. Music everywhere.

All bookings have been cancelled. Worldwide lockdown.

A moment in Corona Times.
