The peak (highest number of infections) isn't predicted to hit until May/June, so if you self isolate now for just 2/3 weeks, you'll be coming back still in the midst of climbing infection rates.

I’m taking time off for medical reasons so will just see how it goes.

[off topic content redacted. Again.]

London and Heathrow are dead so I’ll be going home for
A few months now. Be interesting to see how this affects the industry as a whole. I was even thinking about going back to a civi job and doing this as a side thing in the future. I get fed up with the stress of it being the main earn. This isn’t a joke when you have kids to feed and entertain on Easter holidays.

Kay from what I've read, the medical experts don't know yet if you can catch it via semen? My thinking is if you can catch it by inhaling cough droplets from someone who's infected, there's a chance?

I wouldn't have thought semen was a major risk, but also OWO does not always equal CIM (I do the former but never the latter). I just meant you're far more likely to get it from kissing or being in close proximity to an infected man.

We just need to sanitize our apartments and get our men to wash their hands and sanitize. Could go a step further and have them put their clothes in a bag you destroy once they have gone.

I have one regular booked in later but yep, quiet.

For anyone who's really concerned but still wants to work, the best thing would be to check all clients with a thermometer (obviously not an under the tongue one). If their temperature is over about 37.2 C, no booking.

I'd also advise everyone to have at least 24 tablets of each ibuprofen and paracetamol in the house, in case you do get it, as keeping your temperature down will be important.

Can i have the source of that information_ Hope itąs not from the news  ::)

I watched Professor Chris Whitty yesterday saying the peak is most likely 10 to 14 weeks away and then I did the maths.

I’m really worried about the corona virus, work has been so quiet and I’m also scared of catching it myself. I haven’t even been saving and I have rent to pay I’m scared it’s going to affect work so much that I’ll literally get no clients which means no income and can’t afford my rent 😭 does anyone have any other ideas on how to make money? I live in Birmingham and this is where I work I’m thinking to do webcam but dunno where to start? How’s everyone else getting on with work and this virus going around
Hi Megan
There is a thread about webcamming on this forum. You can certainly try camming if you feel work is affected.
However, because the global economy is taking a hit (cam clients are more careful with spending), new girls on cam might not be making much money right now.
Have you thought about applying for Universal credit online? Have some items you can sell quickly on Ebay?

For those who are thinking of touring or want to check the local area there is a gov dashboard that shows the impact. I’m using the desktop version on my phone and it shows the area, plus infections vs residents.

Hope it's ok to start this thread as there's another CV one on the go but not to do with my title here.

I'm concerned about CV and these are the things I'm doing to lessen the chances of catching it. (And as far as I'm aware, if you are fit and healthy, your chances of beating it are high.)

Clients have to wash their hands before touching anything in my apartment. No shared towels, they dry their hands on kitchen roll.

I'm now going to be asking them to put their clothes on a plastic sheet and not scattered around willy nilly.

I'll be using Dettol wipes to wipe that sheet down after use.

OWO is at my discretion but I'm stopping that for now.

No kissing my face.

I'm regularly wiping things down with Dettol wipes (on the back it says they kill CV).

I'm going to trial a wipe down bed sheet. If that doesn't work, I have some disposable massage sheets.

Hope I don't sound alarmist but we all have a responsibility to keep ourselves and others safe.

The clients who’ve seen me are more upset about the fact they can’t go to Spain or wherever for half term with the kids lol. They aren’t really bothered about the virus itself ...

Maybe that's good news for all of us after all and we might have a busy half term? Who knows  ;D

Oops I read that all wrong... ;D
I'm hoping a client will give it to me so I generate antibodies. So will now offer french kissing and face licking. Joking

No wonder sex workers get a bad name when it comes to this sort of thing. It's all about the money apparently.
