I have a few questions for our dancers about the coronavirus inpact:
I haven't visited a strip club in 2 weeks, which is a long time for me. I had planned to go today, but now I'm reconsidering. Although I'm in good health, I'm retired and over 65, and the elderly are most likely to die from the virus. Maybe I'll text a dancer about OTC.
^^^ Right. But I figure that contact with a single stripper in my home is not as risky as going to a club with 25 strippers and staff and customers. Some of the customers might have just gotten off a plane at Detroit airport.
I personally haven’t been in a club since February 26th to witness anything. I’ve been dealing with what I think was actually pneumonia this time.. Mostly okay now though, thank goodness. I’ll probably be back in Monday.
From what I’ve gathered online from dancers discussing on different platforms, it’s been a mixed bag so far of some clubs taking a hit and others remaining status quo.. My guess is that now is really not a good time to be in touristy clubs that constantly attract travelers. (Especially with companies cancelling business travel and even work commutes) But clubs more “locals” oriented are doing okay.
Texting a dancer might be one way to reduce (not eliminate) the problem. May not be a bad idea to monitor how crowded your local hospital is at the moment (worst case scenario—-and the main concern of why the coronavirus is a big deal anyways). And doing whatever for immune system supplements.
I obviously can't answer for the girls, but I can tell you what I've been told.
I've been getting calls/texts from dancers at local clubs saying it's been dead & money is down, and they're worried about going in anyway. The result is girls almost begging to do OTC. These are girls who are at clubs where extras are very rare; I'd say non-existent, but I'm not naive enough to believe that. And they're girls who've turned down OTC in the past. So I figure at least two if not all three of your questions are true for them. At the same time, my CF who hasn't been working herself for other reasons, tells me her friends at a couple of clubs are saying it has been busy and they've been cashing in.
I'd concur that its a mixed bag. I didn't really reach the same conclusion on my own, but it does align with nicespices comment about the clubs that rely on tourists taking the hit, while the locals clubs aren't. This is 3rd party from strippers to customers, so take it how you want.
As far as the OTC aspect goes, it's worked out well for me. We made plans for her to come over Friday evening after I finished work. She made plans to hang out with her friend who lives in this area, thinking she'd kill two birds with one Uber ride. We agreed that we'd work out the particulars in person, since she had "never done anything like this before" and didn't want any pressure if she wasn't comfortable when she got here. She told me what she had made the entire week before and it was less than half what I typically spend on one visit. I offered her a bit more than I'd spend on a visit, and she ended up staying until Monday afternoon. She's thanked me a million times and wants to repeat tomorrow. Doubt I will, but still says something about the situation at her club at least.
Nicespice, I don't think a young otherwise healthy person is likely to contract pneumonia alone.
This is allergy season, and this is flu season.
If you have had corona, I don't think there is anyway of telling, without the test. If you are recovering, it probably does not matter.
If your condition had deteriorated to where you needed to be hospitalized, then they would have tested you.
Maybe we can convince founder to let the TUSCL server handle web camming w/ teledildonics.

If the CoronaVirus keeps getting worse, e.g. more deaths, and more contagions (in part due to more testing), I think this will scare-off more PLs from hitting the clubs - I think there is still a lag right now and many people are still in the first stage of dealing w/ a major-event which is denial (w/ the 5 stages being denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance).
Only the most PLish of PLs will not be able to stay away from SCing no-matter the situation and will wing-it and hope for the best.
I suspect that if it gets worse, that is the fear factor, then strip clubs will take a sabbatical.

OTC is not gonna eliminate the risk especially when dealing with a dancer that is in some type of contact in the club with 100s of people.
