Darcy-One of them mentioned being in the office and the actual client was contracted to work from a different area. No one mentioned lockdown.

I had around 10 total calls and texts which for me is a lot as often, 1 or 2 calls=1 job....so fair amount- of wastage, non responders, un-beloved and phantom texters.
I had 4 offers and accepted only one that seemed kosher. They were 15 minute offers not the most expensive jobs. But those are snappy, cheerful and zero stress.

I have been thinking about things over the past month and would like some advice, please.

I'm not sure how to go about working with everything going on?

Is there a high risk of clients reporting escorts? Then I think to myself why would they shoot themselves in the foot.

I know not everyone will agree with my decision but when needs must.

Depends how you feel personally about what's going on. Myself, I know I'm low risk and not in a position to pass it on. I've worked the past month and been quite busy. I doubt they will report as like you said they'll be shooting themselves in the foot.

We all make our own choices and have our own opinion so no need to worry what yours is :)

It's breaking the law, so you need to be prepared for the consequences of that (especially as it's beginning to look as if lockdown MAY be at the beginning of the end at least).

I think a client would only report you if they felt you had upset them in some way.  That would be an extreme reaction though and not very likely.

Hi Emma,

Sorry but there is no way to sugar coat this

If you do start working again then you would be breaking the law

All hospital admissions are now tested for the virus and some people are testing positive for the virus without having any symptoms so even with the best screening in the world your not going to know if you’ve been with a infected person until it’s to late
God forbid and the worst happens and you did catch it and need hospital treatment, you will then be asking medical staff (who are also dying) to treat you as you’ve not followed the rules

My green light was on for the first 2days of lock down and I’m sure that I was not the only person who got a number of messages questioning why

My duo partner who works from her home had continued to work up until last week when she had a visit from the police

Even if the government start to ease the lockdown restriction soon the social distancing rules will still remain

I don't think punters would report and it's not like WGs are forcing guys to punt it's a grown up choice. And now its impossible for guys to pick up one night stands on a night out in bars and clubs, I wonder if those guys will now look to punt. And it's only illegal if you knowingly have symptoms and work, I been going to my local suoermarket and not one member of staff been off with CV, I know the manager, and they see hundreds of people a day. It's about being sensible and I haven't caught a cold in a year but that could just be down to a good immune system because I've jussed many guys in the last 14 months. Some people are more prone to catching stuff and those individuals will stay home.

It's important to check oxygen levels in the blood, Something we can all do with a cheap device off Amazon. If we have to exist with another virus then we will do, Still got to live and work to pay the bills. I will go back to work July or August and I actually hate working in the heat and I'm glad to have the time off. I didn't have a holiday or anything for a year.

Once lickdown is over AW will be back in full swing, It's probably profited more from getting money from more camming. Even in this situation winners and losers.

For the avoidance of doubt, this is from the .gov website where there is also a list of non essential businesses affected, for anybody who genuinely can't grasp the difference between places selling food and basic necessities and whoring :).

Quote
As of 1pm on 26 March 2020 new Regulations extending the restrictions are now enforceable by law in England due to the threat to public health. These supersede Regulations that came into force at 2pm on 21 March 2020.

Everyone is instructed to comply with the rules issued by the government in relation to coronavirus, in order to protect both themselves and others.

An owner, proprietor or manager carrying out a business (or a person responsible for other premises) who contravenes the regulations, without reasonable excuse, commits an offence.

In England, Environmental Health and Trading Standards officers will monitor compliance with these regulations, with police support provided if appropriate. Businesses and venues that breach them will be subject to prohibition notices, and a person, who is 18 or over, carrying on a business in contravention of the regulations may be issued with a fixed penalty. With the support of the police, prohibition notices can be used to require compliance with the regulations including requiring that an activity ceases. It is also an offence, without reasonable excuse, to fail to comply with a prohibition notice.

If prohibition notices are not complied with, or fixed penalty notice not paid, you may also be taken to court with magistrates able to impose potentially unlimited fines.

Anybody who chooses to work needs to be aware of this if they're not already, and also the chances of winding up in a grim redtop (as some people already have) if some scum journo decides to give you a call. Pointing this out (as several posters have done already) is one thing. What we won't tolerate here is shrieking, judgemental crap towards other sex workers, and such posts will continue to be removed without seeing the light of day. Go and find some fucking Lego, or something.

I switched my work phone on briefly this morning for the first time in about ten days and a fair few texts came through wanting bookings for the next few days. Since my site clearly says I'm not working, I've blocked them all under my 'Didn't even read the front page' rule, so that's some screening time saved in a few weeks :).

I think once all businesses are back up and running and also schools then AW will lifts its green light ban.

I doubt AW would wait until all social groups and churches/mosques/synagagoes and the like around the world are back open and clubs and societies fully up and running again.

To my mind that would mean July ish latest.

Just an educated guess mind.

I think AW remove warning when government says no longer illegal to visit people in different houses. This be first or second change in lockdown, so either next week or 3 week after that when lockdown  review again. Because visit people in other house is only thing of lockdown that effect our work and is what AW say in banner warning.
