Yep correct. We basically will be the last ones to go back to work maybe when shops/ pubs/ restaurants open but then again we cannot keep 2 meters apart til we get a vaccine. So our industry is the worst of the bunch unfortunately for getting back to work safely.

Yea basically.

Here's a quote from 'Memoirs of a Geisha' that captures the mood:

And another one:

Its a pretty film, but I'd not mind about being greatest geisha in Miyako if  I could go back to being a middling hooker in the midlands 

Think a lot of us might be on a break for a while except some people working from their own homes

Middling hooker in the Midlands here also.

Awesome its an honorable position in life  and I already damn miss it.

I just read in The Guardian's summarisation and their interpretation of the 'in July some of the hospitality industry may open' is likely to mean those that can have a reasonable expectation of social distance. So I'll probably be missing it for a time yet.

It depends on how worked up you are about breaking the law ref working from home.  Not many officials will be policing it as they have better things to do.

As for the hospitality industry I have checked the policies on hygiene from some of the companies that are under google search who advise the hotel industry and not one of them covers having guests in the rooms.  So I wouldn't worry about the industry being finished.  Far from it.  It will just run on as usual.

I have started booking two day tours August onwards in good locations and wing it.  I think it may be fairly busy as many people couldn't get away during lockdown and others will be in well paid businesses of their own not everybody has been ruined.  Some are still running their businesses e.g. builders/electricians/plumbers and so on.  Also plenty middle class businesses will still be running even if after a fashion and the more successful end will wish to visit escorts.  Some employees will be more at work as of this week also because Boris has deemed this ok 'if they have no possibility of working from home'.  Many companies cannot afford to keep staff at home so will expect them to go back in.

A lot of it is doom and gloom we have to be careful we stay quite rational and see the bigger picture.

I am going to naturally insist clients use the antibac gel as soon as they walk in the door but their clothes I will direct them to their own individual black binliner to put their clothes in and take out of again.

Not sure what policy I will implement ref showers.  I will put a huge sheet over the bed and change daily including covering the pillows and wash evenings.

No point having a nervous breakdown about it.  Just sensible precautions and live our lives.

The issue isn’t hospitality industry policies on hygiene it’s whether the government considers our industry (or the closest things to it for our consideration, I suppose such as massage therapy) safe enough to operate during COVID19. As stated elsewhere some people will be worried about the health risks, whilst others about breaking the law.

It’s going to be a interpretation process for us seeing us prostitution won’t show up on any gov list of jobs that have got the peri peri green light.

I have seen a few people here and on adult work are working even now. I assume it's from home.

Not everybody works from home. Some of us have work flats (which still need the rent paid), and I imagine even the grimmest of the AW prossie flats are doing a pretty brisk trade at the moment. Other people are doing outcalls, as has been mentioned above - I've been asked for a few even though I'm a) not working and b) don't visit private residences. More screening time saved .

Lots of people have been working from the start of lockdown right up to now. A friend of mine had been working i thought she had stopped but she only told me when she was feeling unwell with Covid 19 symtoms and admitted she had been working she got more poorly and last i heard she was admitted to hospital. I know she went against the rules of not having close contact and working but I do hope she will recover and get through it.
