Is it just me or does anyone else have the song "My Sharona" start playing in their head when thinking of the virus?
"Weird" Al Yankovic tweeted a couple days ago that he WILL NOT be doing a "My Corona" parody!

I also read where a team in Texas had a vaccine for Coronavirus ready to test in 2006 (I think, could be off on the year) but the clinical trials were not funded. A shame but as article pointed out at that time there was no pandemic getting everyone all excited. Hindsight .....still, that vaccine was on ice and is now able to be tested so hopefully can be rolled out sooner rather than later.
Not sure, but I thought I heard that "CoronaVirus" is a more generic term whereas "Covid-19" is more specific for this strain. Tried to Google it but got too many hits that weren't helpful.

Yeah, pretty much

Coronavirus is a family of virus among other families.

SARS-CoV-2 is the name of the specific coronavirus causing this wave of infections. Earlier it was sometimes referred to with the more generic name 2019-nCoV, or the even more casual descriptor "novel coronavirus" (to just stand in for "this particular new coronavirus that's fucking everyone up").

COVID-19 is the name for the disease it causes in a person.

I still notice people coughing directly into their HANDS on a daily basis, so I'd be totally thrilled with them trading their contaminated hands for contaminated sleeves. Small victories ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
There's this new fad of replacing the handshake by bumping elbows. I just hope they're not using the elbow they sneeze in.

Exactamundo!

Here is the link regarding the Texas lab, I had the year wrong, it was 2016.

Good info here and I love the mature conversation between terbites #MTGA

The take home info here is to use good judgement in your social exposure be it with SW or the general population and please, for the love of god, wash your hands and stop touching your mucous lined body parts (namely ear, nose, mouth, eyes). People have no clue how casually we preen ours throughout the day. Someone posted on twitter yesterday a government official reading a statement about COVID19 and in the middle of the speech she licks her finger to turn the page of her prepared statement. Just the other day I left Brass Club and decided to walk across the street to the McDonalds for a $1 coffee and witnessed a lady touch the screen of the order machine, put the same finger in her mouth and then go back to the screen. I love wearing thin touchscreen enabled gloves during cold season :)
This woman who put her finger in her mouth, was she hot, would you see her if she was an SP.
Did she do it in a sexual way that turned you on or do you think she was getting dried cunt juice out from under her fingernails from the last time she fingered herself.
maybe she hadn't washed her hands and it was still present all over her finger, did she use any tongue action on her finger?
I would like to know just to satisfy my own perversion. I have a thing about women putting their fingers in their mouth.

If the stock market keep falling, people may stop seeing SP's. Not inconceivable a drop of 30-40% from peak. Once RRSP and other investments take such a drastic hit, people will cut down on unnecessary expenses.

Like the stock market, the SP and MA industry is due for a major correction.

Rates are 30-40% over what they should be; thanks, in no small part, to the unscrupulous spa owners.

One of my favourite bloggers talked about how during a major siege in the Balkan conflict, the price dropped down to a tin of tuna. Food for thought!

More ladies moving to CAM sites? And, as a result, that's what we're left with as a client option? Virus warnings of a different sort, of course.

If a recession does occur, there will be an influx of new SW's. With increase of supply and less demand, price naturally will come down.

Whether this is due to coronavirus or the influx in the stocks remains to be seen.
All that is happening is not limited to one particular industry but the economy as a whole. The spending power of the population will be affected during this or any other crisis. Question is how long and how severe.

How is it "food for thought" that humans will make desperate, painful choices to ensure the survival of themselves and their families, you dumb piece of shit.

Your post is disgusting; it conveys an image of you sitting behind your keyboard slavering at the thought of compelling sex from a helpless person who doesn't want to be there.

I feel like the financial impact will be a lot greater than the health impact. A lot of girls will feel their clientele dwindle for a bit while the markets are hurting.

Can't argue against that.

On Twitter, in Toronto, there seems to be a lot of Providers being affected. If this covid-19 trend keeps increasing, there's likely a lot of Providers that will find times harder. So far it doesn't seems that Ottawa is impacted yet?
Young Asian ladies are picked up at the airport in Toronto upon arrival from China , by pimps who drop them within a day , into whorehouses and massage parlours across Ontario , and Ottawa for sure is a popular go to destination .” Not yet”could turn on you within hours into “holy fuck “

I did change plans, I'll park the hobby for a while, not that I was super active before anyway.
The virus spreads through close contact, if you see an SP and she has the virus the chance to get it from her is in the high 90s%. She is in close contact with let’s say 10 people a day, 70 a week etc... and if one of the clients have it the chance for her to get it is in the high 90s% and so on.
Do the math, there is huge difference between the community transmission rate and the hobby activity transmission rate, probably 100 times greater!
Personally, I am in demographic age group and physical state where I won't be probably severely affected by the COVID19 disease, however, I do care about the people that I am in contact with so I will restrain from it.
Why would you want to kill your grandparents kind of rethoric...

People need know that this is not a sexually transmitted disease. There isn’t any proven basis for those statistics of yours. Zero study has been done to compare community transmission rate vs hobby activity transmission rate. The disease is spread through close contact with somebody that has been infected or potentially a surface area that that person has touched. It’s not necessarily propagated by sexual interaction. You can easily substitute office worker with SP. I would say I’m at equal or much greater risk going to work everyday or visiting a bar/restaurant for drinks than I would be visiting an SP. My interactions on a daily basis well exceeds 50 ppl per day with each of those persons likely also having 50+ interactions with other persons. Visiting an SP is simply another daily interaction with an individual. It’d be wrong to suggest an SP as having a greater likelihood of being a person infected with the COVID-19. The best way to limit risk is to limit ones exposure to others and to just follow the guidelines as set forth by the medical community.
+1 to this.

Statistically speaking if provider stays indoors majority of the time, she's more than likely to be of lower risk than those who venture out in public where they are constantly surrounded by a crowd of people.

I agree with this assessment, Bill. Quite a few of the ladies who used to advertise regularly on LL and elsewhere have simply disappeared...they might have retired, moved on with other endeavours and I wish them well...it's all about supply and demand, they still need to pay the bills, including advertising on those sites, and if there are not enough clients, it's a tough gig to be in.

I notice prices have also gone down in quite a few cases as well...again it's all about supply and demand, if there are other ladies who charge less for similar services and experience, it's not a terribly difficult decision to make, isn't it?

Well, contingency measures are in place. I will avoid face to face meeting, and stick to sexy ladies sitting on my face and facefucking the (not in that order). Valid alternates are telework/teleconference. So I will be working without pants and furiously masturbating to to PornHub when possible.
Now if the river can thaw, I will go self quarantine myself on a boat, fish and drink beer. Ball is in your court Mother (whore) Nature (fucken bitch).
Since there is shortage of water and hand sanitizer, I will be drinking beer, and splling scotch when drunk counts as hand sanitizer right?

And if I run out of toilet paper.... shall we re-open the rimming thread? #snickers
