Just watch the change in the next week or so with what the government will do then the decision will be taken away from us.

Well as far as I'm concerned, danger money for potential illness is and has always been included in my rates. As far as I'm aware, every single other health condition that can possibly be caught from other people via intimate contact or otherwise hasn't magically been eradicated overnight, although anybody using the crapper news sources would be forgiven for thinking it had ::)

True for those that offer risky services anything unprotected. OWO, unprotected intercourse, Rimming are already taking a risk with there health even before the Coronavirus popped up.

No, true for everybody. I give you herpes, genital warts, shingles, scabies, TB, chicken pox, measles, mumps, yellow fever, rubella, ringworm, diptheria, staphylococcus and good old fashioned colds. Shall I go on?


Edited to add glandular fever, because not only have I had it and it was fucking horrible, but I know at least two sex workers who caught it from punters.

Yes i get that but i have never caught any of those things apart from colds which anyone can get anywhere. I thought your post was actually more referring to STI's. But yes there is other things to catch i know a few that have caught crabs too.

If I don’t continue working through this virus shit then guess who’s not eating through this virus shit? ... guess who’s getting on the very wrong side of her landlord? ... guess who’s going to end up in debt from not being able to pay their car insurance, council tax, bills? ... guess who’ll be living in darkness due to having no electric?
Yep, hi!

I do think the crisis will be over by the end of June. And the panic. Just read since CV was first detected ten times more people have died from flu. I'm slightly less panicked now but still concerned.

If people are self isolating like in some countries I’m worried we won’t be able to work soon. In Amsterdam cafes etc are closing

If symptomatic 7 days is the current advice.

Ah. The situ and advice is moving so fast it's difficult to keep up! And I watch all the press conferences as well /slaps head

I tend to keep to the BBC Website, sometimes local press sites but interestingly enough a few of those all went down for a day after starting a live coverage feed on CV-19. They are known to be a bit slow, this and the attention must have tipped them over the edge.

Also NHS website too.

For an entire day their 111 line was giving out-dated information for travellers returning from Italy.

I think the idea is that it takes up to 5-14 days to become symptomatic, another 7 days to get over it - so no symptoms but contact including travel to certain areas requires that initial week. Symptomatic you've gotten that out of the way.

Exactly, it’s more about the fear of CV as it’s a new illness, rather than the reality.  The same groups who are vulnerable to flu will be vulnerable to this.

As for clients. I’m asking all of them to shower on arrival, or if they’ve showered very recently to wash hands thoroughly.  They’ve all been fine with this.  If anyone refuses or turns up obviously unwell I plan to turn them away.

I refuse to panic about this, just take what precautions I can and be sensible about things.

Yep, hi!

Right exactly this..  I had 2 yrs of ill health, lost all my savings, so unless things get horrendous I will be continuing, taking appropriate precautions of course.

TheLastTime I think that's sensible. I'm asking them to wash their hands (and get between those fingers) and also telling them if they feel a sneeze or a cough coming on, to use tissues provided. I'd like to give them face masks but maybe that's a bit too much.

I too have been insisting on handwashing but i have noticed some trying to just sprinkle water over there hands and not actually properly wash them but if there like that with there cock and arsehole which a lot are not good at cleaning themselves ( had somebody recent have a shower and his arse stunk and noticed shit stains on the towel and i told him too and his response was oh sorry i must have forgotten to wipe my bum when i did a shit. Disgusting) no surprise they can be like it with hand washing.

No wonder this thing is spreading so fast. You'd think general hygiene is common knowledge amongst everyone (especially with all the advice going round at the moment!!!) this job opens your eyes to a lot!
