Will coronavirus keep you away?
With the coronavirus spreading, and no doubt soon to be in Ohio, I started thinking that this is going to cause some serious damage to our hobby.
I just canceled an appointment for next week with a touring provider, because I learned she is currently in California, where the greatest number of cases have been confirmed. Being over 60 AND diabetic, I am squarely in the "high risk" category. Am I paranoid? Considering people can transmit coronavirus before they even show any symptoms, hell to the yeah I'm paranoid.
If enough guys leave the hobby until this is over, I can imagine some providers will lose so much business they will end up homeless or worse. And others may get so desperate that they'll drop their prices to get the few clients still willing to risk it. I would not be surprised if many of the massage places shut down as well.
So what's the general feeling out there? Are you thinking of stepping away from the hobby for a while (especially if you are older or have health issues)? Or are you throwing caution to the wind, because you figure that if you don't get coronavirus from one of the girls, you're just going to get it from somewhere else anyway? Or are you thinking coronavirus is mostly hype and no worse than a flu outbreak ... thus no need to do anything differently?
Be safe, brothers!
