  I have cut my clubbing down to last Sunday, Friday, Wednesday and Monday. My precaution is to drink plenty of flui=ds containing alcohol. Living in Massachusetts, driving on the roads remains my biggest problem.

  There are risks if you play - HIV, herpes, baby daddy, now corona virus. With cv u don’t need even fuck them.

  Good thinking ski. After all, doesn't alcohol kill the corona virus? Seem to me that keeping your BAC up during these perilous times is a smart move. :)

  I'm 78 and have stage 3 COPD. I have been hospitalized 3 times in the last 2+ years with pneumonia. I have had 3 pneumonia shots and get my flu shot as soon as they come out every year. There is probably a good change I got the pneumonia at the clubs because that is about the only place I goes where I come into close contact with other people. I used to go twice a week but have cut it back to once but it has nothing to do with the coronavirus. I have a cutie coming to my house weekly now. I'm not about to live the rest of my life in fear. I just found out last week from my primary doctor that pneumonia shots cannot stop you from getting pneumonia. Only lessen the effects.

  You only live once. How ever I do plan to stay the Hell away fro airplanes. Airplanes are nothing but petri dish of infestation Since I have no plans to visit anywhere in Cal, or Seattle I will chance it. Even if I was visiting those cities, Seattle's and Portland's club scene has never recover from the the raid 15 years ago. The left wing moralists in both cities decided it is OK for a woman to have an abortion because it is "her body" but showing her body for money is the height of immorality and MUST be stopped!! I have never been in a CA club that was not extremely over priced, and NO the CA girls are not better looking than girls anywhere else, they just have a lot more plastic parts. No cases in Detroit yet so party on!

  Pneumonia is bacteriological, not viral. Real bad for the elderly, but mostly it just finishes off people who are weakened by other illnesses. If the person is not too weakened, antibiotics will deal with pneumonia. But especially for the elderly, long hospitalizations are common, and big weight loss too.

  I haven't cut back on my clubbing or other regular activities because of the corona virus but I did opt to make a four hour drive each way recently instead of just hoping a quick flight. Like tiredtraveler said planes are virtually just flying petri dishes that grow and spread diseases. However I am flying for my trip to Vegas next week because the low risk isn't worth making that long of a drive. I did avoid a dancer that I would have probably gotten dances from last week because she looked sick. She claimed it was just allergies because her roommate got a cat but I figured better safe than sorry. Hopefully either the roommate gets rid of the cat or she finds some allergy meds that work for her so I can get some dances the next time I stop by that club.

  Yo me it’s sounds like a great opportunity to just lye low and save. I got vacation coming up in a few weeks here, I’m not gonna just stay inside. I gotta do a rod trip somewhere but I do so knowing full well my clubbing experience is going to be affected.

  SAn Jose Guy - pneumonia can be bacterial or viral (or fungal or parasitic for that matter). The CoVID-19 is a virus. As a general statement, viruses are far more transmissible than bacteria. Thanks for posting all of the links

  3rd Hour Today [view link] Plant pollens are programmed to go off at different times. So allergy season is already upon us. Most of the symptoms of flues and colds are the same as with allergies. And most of the time it does not matter, not need to worry about flues and colds, as they are not that serious. Here, the cruise ship seems to be just out beyond Golden Gate Bridge, but maybe this is an old file picture. Gov. Gavin Newsom on cruise ship Grand Princess, which is being held off California coast [view link] No, they are saying that coming back from Hawaii, it remains 100 nautical miles off the coast! They want people to stay in their state rooms, required. Coming from Federal CDC. [view link] Going by what they say, test results should be available soon. I think they are only testing people who show symptoms. But the distance adds about 1 hour of air travel each way to this. Where do they get these test kits, who makes them, and what is in them? They still have to be sent to a lab? They are sending it to one in Richmond. What does the lab do? Maybe this will finally help our society transition to work from home.

  "pneumonia can be bacterial or viral (or fungal or parasitic for that matter). The CoVID-19 is a virus. As a general statement, viruses are far more transmissible than bacteria." As I know the issue with viruses is that there really is no treatment or cure, once infected. And then some viruses can live in the inanimate environment for a long time. Maybe some vaccines can help if one is already infected, not sure. But pneumonia? [view link] Well I did not know that. I guess pneumonia is more a lung condition, rather than a specific pathogen. But as I know, usually antibiotics will deal with it, unless the patient is already too weakened due to age or pathogens. SJG

  I have cut back so much from what I used to do that if I went now, it wouldn't be any different than if the coronavirus hadn't existed.

  I’m not planning any cut backs yet due to the coronavirus. I’ve slowed down my visits anyway for other reasons. But I’ll keep doing what I do, monitor things, and possibly have a different opinion down the road.

  Saying that the coronavirus has mutated into two strains. [view link] But these two strains are just from China, so there could be more. Congress approved an $8.3 billion emergency spending bill to fight the virus, but officials in multiple countries say the virus will keep spreading fast for some time. [view link] What I am looking for is news about what happened of the testing of the Grand Princess cruise ship, 3,500 on board, heading to Hawaii, now being held 100nm off the CA coast. Coronavirus: Tests Underway On Cruise Ship Passengers, Crew The Grand Princess is expected to dock in San Francisco, once it's given the all-clear.

  My job requires me to fly because I can't waste several days in travel status. I hate flying in general, but it is the absolute worst in the winter months when everyone is sick and you are crammed in a cylindar of people sneezing and coughing. The area I am in now (Salt Lake) is one of the tamest regions for strip clubs, so coronavirus is not too concerning if I do make it to a strip club. You basically drink beer and tip the stage show. There is no person to person contact. If I was in an area with full contact clubs, I would probably wait for the virus to die out before resuming my clubbing. There are many other avenues of entertainment on the road.

  I am in Seattle, I haven’t noticed that the club has slowed down. I was my hands and face after every customer and every stage and I also use antibacterial wipes. I bought an antibacterial antiseptic soap for showering after work. I don’t know that all those things are too helpful though because we are kinda breathing the same air during a dance, at the most simple level of transmitting this virus. Sad face.

  ^^^^ The medical community seems to think it is by contact, and so this washing does indeed make a big difference. They show how to roll your finger tips and thumb tips around in the soap in your palms. This is how doctors wash for surgery. For myself though, I think that I would cut down on person to person contact and on places where I deal with strangers. But this is just me. I have never worked in anything like a strip club.

  Depending on how long the worst of this stuff continues, it makes me want to be more conservative and put the travel dancing on a temporary hold instead of exploring around the Midwest like I wanted to soon. Not fun seeing reports of store shelves clearing out of certain basics. I’m not back in Texas yet (still trying to get over what turned out not to be a cold, but strep 😭). But when I get there, I’m going to want to stay around and be closer to people I know instead of far flung areas. I also have aging parents I’d want to be not too far away from—on the off chance there’s an issue. It’s a shame cause there’s a Pokémon go event I wanted to go to & already paid for for the end of the month in St Louis MO. But at least the ticket that will be wasted will only be $20.

  i’ve had five bouts with pneumonia ever since my mid-20s. I don’t think any person has given me pneumonia. it’s simply been me getting chilled to the bone. this year is the first year I’ve ever gotten the flu shot. I survived it. coronavirus it’s just another word for another flu. shit if I die... oh well... I die.

  I'm not changing club plans due to the virus. I'm not traveling via plane to any effected area soon. I've been following the advice of my corporate group, and keeping air travel to a minimum currently. If you are a good sales guy, you might be able to negotiate a few dances for a few bottles of purell?

  Bleach at a 1 percent solution will kill viruses, alcohol will not. Hand sanitizer, most of which are alcohol based, can only wash the virus off. Proper hand washing with soap will break the virus apart and it will die.

  Good so I’ll just ask every customer to bleach their whole body real quick before we dance. Simple solution.

But then as it was moving towards Mexico, it got redirected back towards San Franciso, not just waiting 100nm offshore. None of this sounds like a very fun experience.

  We made it through a whole recession man, you think “management” is going to be the clincher that makes customers come in or not? University of Washington medical researchers are doing a ton right now with Coronavirus. Today UW told students classes are cancelled for the remainder of the quarter (and many other colleges and universities in Puget Sound did the same). UW said it expects classes to resume by or before March 30th and I am sure they have picked that date based on info that came from their researchers. So I *think* we can make it until March 30th, maybe even April 30th if we are lucky.

  This has been one of my concerns. I had planned on flying out of town this weekend on a self-indulgent leisure trip. I was going to one of those race track events where you drive their exotic cars under the supervision of a professional driver, do some sightseeing, and then finish it off with my ATF with some OTC. But then I got to thinking that because she's with other guys who go to other clubs, who get with other dancers in that club, who get with other guys... that's a lot of risk to consider and I think that I can wait until all this blows over.

  I'm not in the age range where I am at risk for anything beyond the flu symptoms. However, I do feel a sense of the collective to do my part to help out with trying to end this stage of the pandemic. I cant justify an afternoon of full contact lappers & more, with the rest of my life of not shaking peoples hands and opening doors with napkins. Plus, while I haven't been checking clubs, things in general are starting to slow down and I would imagine that slow down will hit clubs. However, when we're in the clear, there's gonna be a lot of PLs with saved up money & dancers needing to make up that back pay. Going to be a great time.

  As the common cold/flu/corona virus works its way around the country, as it does evbery year, I have cut down on my clubbing (no I haven't); stopped going out to dinner (except last saturday and sunday) and won't be flying again for 14 days, Wash my hands? Always. Kepp em away from my face? Yup. Have health issues? Nope. Give a fuck about people panicking because the news told them to? Not in the least.
