Governor opening the state
I wonder how this will effect the local spas, I know they are opening things very slow but I wonder if the spas, because of the close contact will still be getting a green light. I have talked to 2 girls and they seem very apprehensive about starting back. I figured some of the girls would be willing to risk it caring more about money. The NDS / KMS girls have got to be getting hard up and probably not the brightest and would let money overcome fear, especially the old timers like Yuki & Mona. I am ready for these places to open although I will not be kissing anyone.

I have OTC relationships with several Chinese therapists. 2 ladies working in Miami left Florida before the lock down and drove to rural southern Illinois to stay with a friend and her husband. They were terrified for their families living in China and when it started in Miami, they fled. They are exploring other ways to make money. One girl in Ohio packed her shit and returned to China just before flights were cancelled. She feels safer there with family and is opening a new spa there using her American dollars. In March, she actually mailed me a couple of masks.
My point is that many of these women may never return to the massage business. I've known a couple that drink too much, but never a drug addict. They like the money but most are really afraid of this coronavirus. Many people assume that these women are stupid and starving but that's not true in most cases. Unlike most American women, these ladies are mostly very thrifty and have substantial savings. There's going to be some reopen, but I think it's going to very different.
Just like all of you, I want the Asian Massage Parlors back. I want a good Chinese oil massage and also the occasional visit to MC, NDS, and KMS.
