Post-Corona Philly

[findinit]

What could be interesting is if they do return to normal and you get covid, then they want to do contact tracing........

I'd bet more than a few sex workers qualify as super spreaders.

Let's determine the risk probabilities of catching CV19.

Grocery store. Ave Shopping time 30 mins. 100 people in the store. Store open 10 hours. 2000 people in the store for 1 day. Shared shopping carts. People physically touching all kinds of items, milk, meats, opening doors to refrigerated coolers and freezers. 10 checkout lanes for all 2000 people. 99% of things touched aren't getting washed or disinfected during the day. Trust me you don't want to do the math for a Wal*Mart.

AMP. Each lady sees 4-8 Customers per day. You undress and dress yourself. New towels. Full body wash in between customers. The lady washes herself usually after the shower. She doesn't touch the cash until the end. Clean towels. Customers don't have to interact with anyone before going to the AMP. Mouthwash is provided. CV19 is a lung respiratory disease and she isn't paying any attention to that organ. I can kiss her other lips, a queef won't infect me.

My advice is don't go to the AMP after shopping. An AMP seems much safer then taking cash back from the cashier at the supermarket.

Whatever you left at the AMP most likely is deposited in a self-contain sterile throw away PPE system.

I agree with you that the grocery store is much riskier than commonly assumed, but i dunno if AMPs are better. In fact, I think they might be a good deal worse. The problem is viral load. Let's say you're in a 1 hour massage session with a provider who is shedding the virus. You are breathing in a lot of the virus deep into your lungs. It's an enclosed area, they're touching your face. The virus can live in feces or urine (the queefs...). The reason the guidance is 2 meters is because that's how far droplets and airborne virus can go from normal breathing, and it can go much further if someone coughs or sneezes. At the end of the day we all have to take the risks we are comfortable with, but I'm going to wait a bit longer before venturing out for a massage.

Not being critical, just relating my experience. Americans in general have the attention span and memory of an amoeba. I think things will go back to normal as soon as economics get back to normal.

Money talks ....loud

So, how does a small business get 1,000 rapid COVID tests? Perhaps AMPs could test every customer for the virus. Perhaps when one has antibodies, one will get a "I survived COVID" card. I see us living with COVID for another 15 months. There will be no vaccine or herd immunity until then. Perhaps AMPs open June 1st, everyone acts like a rabbit, and then the nation closes down, and the contact tracing leads to AMPs, ruining the lives of many. Hmmm, turn off bluetooth before we arrive? I guess it is just too soon to figure all of this out.

I already am gun shy of going face down due to multiple cases of eye infection after spa. Will never do it again till vaccine guess more time for two cups lol

 

[Montco422]

I'm with Asianampman - too soon to figure out how this will end. But the idiots who are protesting to open everything back up have a death wish. We are still many months away, most likely a year or more, from things reverting back to pre-corona normal. And AMPs will most definitely not get the free pass that they had before. I think we are looking at indies and UTR providers for anyone who wants to play in the days ahead.

 

[bshoemaker2013]

agreed but I do like the idea of the rapid test. Not just for Amp's but other business as well. Interesting times ahead until we get a vaccine or treatment.

 

[yummyphillyboy]

Let's talk about pricing post Covid. Gotta think the standards we have all been paying go up.

More risk, possibly more overhead for safety, and less demand for the services.

 

[bshoemaker2013]

I was hoping they would go down. The risk is both ways. If Remdesivir comes out on top I think people are going to go nuts out there lol.

 

[asianampman]

To be honest, I think Remdesivir, the broad spectrum anti-viral from Gilead, as the best chance at relieving COVID symptoms and helping people to recover.

 

[bshoemaker2013]

So far its showing promise unless that was made up to boost the stock which, in that case is helpful since I own that stock lol

A simple app. Anything you say, do, or go with a cell phone is available for government scrutiny. We lost that protection a long time ago.

Simple, leave the cell phone at home.

Simple, leave the cell phone at home.

I don’t know many willing to do that, and I know a lot that can’t. It’s the only way I can be reached when I’m on call. And worse yet, when I’m out for fun on a 2 call entry lol.

 

[Wayne1250]

Having your cell phone is the only way to trade contact info with the girl. If you are only in it for a one time fuck, leave the cell phone at home. Don't even being it in the car.

Guys, we are assuming this virus and the statistics related to it are going to get worse. What happens if they get better? As time goes on, the risk and reward equation will become more clear and my guess is that the reward will drastically outweigh the risks. I am an eternal optimist. Please. please.please like this message to give us all hope for a happy, fun, prosperous, exciting future. Social Distancing Sucks.

I’m in the middle of it. It seems to have plateaued. But how that relates to the future, such as secondary outbreaks, morbidity and mortality I have no fucking idea. My sense is 4-6 more weeks.

If there is a quick easy test (similar to pregnancy test) two people will take a test in front of each other, if they both come up negative, business as usual. If one or the other comes up positive, you will walk out either way (I hope)

I had a similar thought. Therapists would need to be tested daily, before shift begins. Customers sit in a waiting room, get tested, then are shown either to their room or to the door. Mamasan wears gloves, a lab-coat and an N-95 mask. Individual test kits are gonna need to be mass produced, and available by the hundreds, for every personal contact business out there. Barber shops, hair and nail salons, massage studios etc. And those test kits will cost $$ !

You have it Ronin? If so, hope you feel better.

 

[Ronin]

I don’t have it. I have a genetic mutation that has, so far, precluded me from viral infection...including an accidental aids injection in the very early 90’s. That’s the origin of how I found out. I’m working in NYC at one of the big academic centers running a COVID ICU pod. I have mixed emotions on all the posts about this. Like most things, no one is completely right or wrong in their pursuits. There’s a fair amount of truth either way. That being said, anyone not completely healthy is a total moron to expose themselves. Especially if you have any pulmonary or cardiac pathology.

Cool! Is it clear what the protective mechanism is?
