Aren't they going to review the situation in a couple of weeks' time? Think I heard that right, but who knows what the chances are of them lifting some of their restrictions?

Yes - as I understand it Dr Jenny Harries the medic doing the press conferences said a review after three weeks to see if some of the lockdown can be softened but it all depends, and in theory some form of social restriction might be in place for up to 6 months, but that might just mean large gatherings for example.  If I had a work flat I'd wait out the three weeks if possible and see what they say then, and then make a decision, but it all depends on people's individual financial situations.

I’ve stopped working with the current situation. Luckily I have some savings and a few clients have offered to help which is lovely! I did notice the weeks before that it was starting to quiet down a little.

I am struggling with the lockdown. It's not just the financial impact of this - it's also not being able to venture out and spend time with loved ones. I hate it. I really hope the lockdown will be reversed, but I doubt it this soon...

I think burlesque is right to wait it out, I will see how the next 3 weeks go. My fav and most regular clients been laid off for 2 months with 80% pay, That worries me. If most companies are laying off staff for 2-3 months and with the continuing no group gatherings for 6 months, Restaurants will be closed and bars. So guys will have more money with not socialising and drinking in pubs. But still money will be tight for most so less guys spending on luxuries like us. Older guys will not punt for many months for fear of getting seriously ill.

Most of my clients are white collar salaried professional types and so those are the ones who are probably less likely like to suffer financially I reckon (unless I am missing something) from this than workers who depend on the service economy and insecure employment seeing as some of those businesses might struggle to return to normal even with the government packages and so I am hoping, as Betty says, after no spends on restaurants, weekend antics they might have money to spend after lockdown. Im half filling my glass at the mo else I'd go bananas.

They already have sex doll brothels lol I got too much time on my hands But seriously even investing in one doll could be an idea. Something totally opposite to me so big boobs and Kardashian bum, Might end up getting more work than me.

OMG a site calle Racyme and so many dolls lol But seriously having just one during the months to come could be great for guys who are worried about physical contact with us real ladies. I'm just trying to think of a way to just keep hold of my flat until works back to normal but what if I just end up with a real life size doll I'll have to hide in my wardrobe lol Try to explain that to my teenagers.

Just heard if a charity called SWARM that's launching a hardship fund to help aex workers most in need. Vivastreet are asking for donations to be made to SWARM to support sex workers. It's for those in severe financial hardship so not something I am in need of but I imagine right now ladies face being homeless and going without food. This is going to be one of the hardest things to hit Sex workers. And not all WG have paid tax although yes as someone pointed out already, A claim for universal credit is available.

Burlesque is right. I'm working on something involved in Nightingale and we are planning for 12 weeks for the extra beds that keep getting mentioned however we are all saying it could be a lot later in the year.

Its put a real thorn in my side however I'm very lucky I've another job but I'm having to cut back due as this was helping a gap.
