It is a very scary time to be alive. I've stopped seeing clients, because I've developed a cough and temperature  :'( I'm hoping the UK government will announce a plan to help those of us who are now going to struggle...

Me too. Camming is going alright at the moment, but it's only a matter of time, right?  :'(

I would advise all self employed to arrange a interview at the job centre. I have mine next week. There will be funding for you to get you through this. It may be that we all have to go on universal credit for 2-4 months to get us through. But at least your rent or mortgage will be covered. Don’t leave it to late to talk to the benefit office get in now while the funding is there. Good luck girls.
I’m isolating no way I’m booking hotels to sit in it alone all day. And I’m not letting clients into my house to spread it to me and my family.

I was wondering this as well. For those of us that cam regularly I wonder if the sheer influx of girls will change that also. Only time will tell.

I have the same concerns, Blondie. I think everyone will go on cam, and then there's the issue of men losing their jobs. I've already had a few camming regulars who say they won't buy tokens because they know they're going to lose their jobs. It is a huge worry.

I am not scared by the virus. It's everyone's overreaction to it that worries me. Although I appreciate there are some that are more vulnerable and won't want to risk it.

I think the country needs to be all or nothing about this. There is no point some people being told to WFH and isolate while others are still going about a normal life.

Like you say MKX, there'll hopefully be an influx to make up for it when this is over.

I'm trying to keep posts to the relevant threads so there's some switching about between this and the Slow one, but I'm fighting a losing battle, I know. For now, if we're talking about anything that could fall under the title of this one can we post it here rather than there, even if it means the long thread drops out for a bit? Then we haven't got two current threads about the same thing and people's replies won't get lost :)

I have remained calm and did get busy Monday I'm relying on clients to be sensible with their health as I'm sure they expect the same from me
I found corner shops had stocks of stuff the big supermarket had run out of I guess no one thinks they will . Got a few antibacterial things and cleaning after each client properly .
That's all I can do for the moment.
I have to go to my other job also so many staff rang in sick already with temperature.
So keep well and safe ladies xx

Business Secretary Alok Sharma says the Housing Secretary will be making a statement shortly about how to protect millions of renters in the UK that could be affected by
coronavirus. I'm tuning into pmq's at noon, if it's still on. There is an argument that if people with mortgages get a three month holiday, that should be passed down to tenants.

I still think we will be over the worst of this by the end of June, we just st need to survive the next few months. But definitely get down to job centre as Blondie says.
I work three days a week usually seeing four people. Thankfully my regulars are still contacting me but I'll find out tomorrow when I intend to work. Could be sat there like a spare lemon all day.

I’ve been on all morning and done £2.50 oh my god panic starting to rise.

People are shocked and still cannot believe what has been happening. Most of us (men and women)!are trying to do future arrangements and have been busy to prepare themselves for home office or buying essentials.i cannot see webcam or escorting being reliable source of income for the next few weeks. When everything settles down and people changes their routines men will come back. Everyone is busy with planning future and their kids. Some schools are already closed and some parents decided not to send them back to school. I have no plans to go on webcam unless arranged with regular or someone who I seen on there before. Sitting on cam and not making any money would make me even more anxious. Hope everyone keeping strong. I believe it meant to happen and those of us who wanted to leave sex industry can make their final decision.

Get better soon!

Must be a queue of girls waiting to get verified on the cam sites. Yes, there will be a big influx of new models and the men being more careful with their spending. On cam sites, it is only 10% of girls making 90% of all the money now, the rest are going to experience great loss in income

I disagree with the 'only 10% of women on cam sites make the money.' I've been making a good income from it for years, alongside the escorting. I actually make a couple of hundred on cam a day, but am expecting that to stop when men run out of money...or become more hesitant about spending because of this.

Coronavirus has totally affected business down south. I've gone from turning down conflicting bookings to picking up my phone to check it's working. Mind you mon to wed is normally quieter than thurs to sun. If it wasnt for my very loyal good hearted friend also client I would be up shit street.
I also cam usually at weekends and that appears unaffected so far but likes been said it relies of men having secure jobs.
