Still risky
[QUOTE=ReadyForRub;4716977]A Chicago area public health doctor indicated oral sex does not violate the idea of social distancing. Her opinion said it was a good way to eliminate the possibility of swapping spit, and it helps to keep faces from coming in contact with each other.[/QUOTE]That recommendation is for monogamous (haha spellcheck tried to make that monotonous!) couples who still want to limit potential transfer, which is virtually guaranteed with kissing and other face to face contact. Just being in the same room with a new girl increases your risk, and the more people you are around the more likely you are to get it and then to spread it. I guess everything is relative but I'm not taking any chances until this virus goes away.

Hope?
The good news. I just saw a report. Tucker Carlson interviewing a doctor, professor of medicine and Stanford. The doctor is saying that as the data comes in, it appears that a whole lot more people were infected with the coronavirus, as the antibodies in their bloodwork shows, but were asymptomatic the entire time. Based on this, the probably death rate is going to be more like 1 / 1000, a tenth of a percent, and not the 4 to 6 percent we've been hearing about.
The bad news. The good doctor says we don't have a vaccine and won't for some time. So if you are in an At Risk group, maybe you want to still practice your social distancing.
I'd love to try and convince myself that my almost 60 year old ass is not at risk, since I don't smoke, take care of myself, and was healthy all winter. On the other hand, I had a flu shot in October.

I am very confused
I don't understand the logic behind the whole thing with only offering 30 minute sessions. If a woman is working a 12 hour shift and can only do 30 minute sessions, potentially she can see 24 customers in a day. If they would allow 1 hour sessions then she could only see 12 customers a day. If they offered 90 minute sessions then she could only see 8 customers a day. I thought that for safety purposes they would want the staff seeing less customers, thus seeing less customers would equal less chances of contracting the virus. So can somebody please explain why they have made it so that the girls are potentially seeing far more customers. I really don't understand the logic behind this. SaintChuck.

From a safety point of view I agree with you. Less customers, less risk.

30 minute shifts
I'm also curious abut this 30 minute thing. As some of you remember, Mei and I moved to Temecula California last year but we're still running Sunshine Health from afar with our local partner Anna. Still legit by the way. So Anna has tried to convince Mei and I (or is it me) that the rules state 30 minutes. Heard some sort of pronouncement. I've heard zero from the village of Buffalo Grove though. We're aiming to re-open on June 15 pending clearance from the Village. Masks, extra sanitizing, appointments an no hanging out in the lobby.
So. What's the origin of this 30 minute thing? It's obviously riskier to see more people each day. Is there any specific mandate?
Thanks,
Bob.
