There are ~420 deaths from CO poisoning each year in the US, and ~2 for AirBnB's worldwide. With 330 M Americans sleeping 365 days per year, that's ~4x10^-9 chance of death per night. There are ~400 M nights booked on AirBnB worldwide per year, and if there are on average 2 people per booking that's ~3x10^-9 chance of death per night.

So AirBnB's look statistically the same as normal American homes.

One could make an argument that AirBnb's are for some reason a better target for CO safety rules. But any article that describes this as an urgent safety issue yet doesn't mention they are just as safe as normal homes can't be trusted. Clear intellectual dishonesty.
