Hi all

Obviously things are going to get considerably quiet in out like of work.

What have you guys done in preparation? Are you going to try and see people where possible?

I am in Hertfordshire it’s dead most men are worried sick about how they are going to pay their mortgages feed their families pay bills so am sure the last thing in their mind is seeing us girls we just have to carry on as much as we can like anybody else but this coming weeks will be a big challenge.

I’m hoping this “had it test” appears soon. Would make it a lot easier to be able to say you’ve been there and are safe to work again. Though it will only those who have the higher income.

If everywhere stays locked down too long the economy will crash and loads of men will lose their jobs, we'll be fighting over scraps  :(

Yes. Let's hope the "I've had CV" tests get here soon then they at least can go back to work. Not sure how the closing down of schools from next week will pan out, but I'm planning on doing just two or three, three days a week for now. Not sure if I'll get them though but shall see tomorrow.

I'm worried I can get it from someone's breath but just read if someone coughs or sneezes on you and you touch the droplets and then touch your face, that gives CV an entry point. Or if you touch a surface such as their clothes and they have it and then you touch your face with the CV on your hands, that's a way to get it. So definitely no touching my neck or face and plenty of hand washing. I keep catching myself touching my face but I'm not at work today. Habit I need to stop.

It's been so quite for me this week , I am thinking of starting a proper job until the coronavirus crisis is finish. Had some bookings for this week but almost all have cancelled, I start to feel a bit panicking because things may get worst rather than better and no one knows for how long this going to be

Same here.

I genuinely think that we are all going to have to accept this is really going to bring a downturn to our line of work.

I am kinaa convinced that you can catch it just by being around someone who has it - the government are saying it's airbourne. I just don't feel safe offering escort services at the min. The general hygiene of men is usually awful when there ISN'T a pandemic - let alone when there is!  :FF

Chances are we will go on lockdown so make sure you are well prepared to take a break from work.

Today was my last day for the time being.
I’m terrified of catching it , thank god I have been putting money aside for a rainy days .
I don’t have a lot , but should be ok for a few months.
Some regulars offered to help financially if I struggle.
Be careful ladies and stay safe x

Within six feet of someone with CV who coughs or sneezes without a tissue to catch it. Although I'm paranoid about someone breathing over me. I know most people survive but still worrying.

I'm going to work for two weeks then take a break.

Today I closed shop, no more bookings for me. The risk has become too high.   

I have applied for Universal Credit - the initial interview will be held over the phone if you tell them you are self-isolating. And they don't actually expect you to get a job, everything has been relaxed. It's a pain in the arse to apply for, but we need all the support we can get right now.

If you have been paying your National Insurance for a number of years (from what I know) you will be able to claim contributory ESA, or Universal Credit. 

I might try webcamming/selling online content... It's really not for me but I guess I've got a lot of spare time on my hands now.  :-\

At least the Gov is saying that renters will be protected from eviction. That's been my main concern financially, I have some savings, but unfortunately I squandered my escorting money for far too long to have decent savings behind me.

Now more than ever we need to support ourselves, our loved ones and our communities. <3 Look after yourselves ladies. xx
