Lots of schools return on Monday so I think lots of us will be glad to have some time to get back to work and get some money in. There has been no talk of any more help for self employed so I for one will be starting back on Monday.

I agree the track and trace is a concern. But if we don't get the app, we aren't a part of it? And if one of our guys gets it, they will surely call us to tell us and if they have the app and we are contacted, we don't have to say we are escorts? I haven't read too much about this so I'm not sure. I've got to the stage where I'm not watching much of the news.

Yes, as Amy said, not the app but the manual T&T. So if an escort tests positive and has been working, she should really give the tracers the phone numbers of all the clients she's seen, and vice versa - bit of a nightmare re. discretion! If you're told you've been exposed, you're then meant to self-isolate for 14 days, even if you've already had it.

Ok thanks. Really need to have a think about this test and trace thing and what I'll do if I do come down with symptoms. I might do a blog post on this and tell my men to keep an eye on my website because if I do come down with symptoms I'll let them know that way? As to telling the tracers about these people, surely it can't be done in our situation?

Our job is the elephant in the room. I'm so conflicted about this because ideally they do need to know but we are meant to be discreet. Most of my men are regs so a bit easier for me but my phone only keeps the last ten numbers anyway so I wouldn't be able to give details even if I was willing to, which I don't think I am.

I'd be amazed if they wanted to know anything more than a list of phone numbers - why would they need any more detail than that? They will have thousands of people's data to go through and they won't be remotely interested in anything bar doing the job they've been tasked with; as ever, we're really not that fascinating.

Don't forget to tell them you saw Dominic Cummings ;D.

I think many clients will choose not to be part of the track and trace app ie they won't download it as an app onto their mobile.

I know many of us are considering renting serviced apartments, holiday lets etc instead of hotels. Be careful with that in Touristy areas. Down here in the southwest any holday lets, airbnb etc are being checked on by the council because tourists arent supposed to be coming down here. They are only allowed to be offering accommodation to local key workers. Also locals are getting militant about it and watching all known short term let properties like hawks. Not a good situation to find yourself in as an escort. Just be aware.

Was a survey that said 7% of Brits had reported someone to the police over covid so 7% of your neighbours / fellow residents will happily sell you down the river. More in some areas as you say.

Therefore according to the very same survey, 93% of them have/would not :)

The app isn't happening - at least not for a long while yet. The track & trace that has been unrolled is basically: if you develop symptoms, you request a test. The person you speak to will ask who you've been less than 2 metres away from for more than 15 mins in the past week/fortnight, and will take their details. Then those people are contacted to tell them to isolate for 14 days and if they get symptoms to get a test/disclose their close contacts. And so on.

I definitely would refuse to download the app and be big brother tracked its too invasive. I also will go back to working in a few weeks when the other none essential businesses open like shops. tired of living to the bare bones and gone through my savings as I didn't qualify for the self employed grant. not fun.

To add to this, here's the link to the gov info about track & trace. Again, there is NO app.
