Outbreak on the Nile

The view from the other side of the room

Was reading the local paper (Eugene, OR ) (The Register Guard) this morning, and in the article on the county Covid stats:

“Of the new cases, - - and five are from a new workplace cluster at ‘The Nile Gentleman’s Club”. Hmm, that’s the one local club I’ve not gotten dances in – guess I won’t be doing so there soon.

But in June, when I did my only Covid-era club visit, I called the five clubs in area and asked: “I see that you’re now open. Can you tell me what Covid precautions you’re taking?” The guy who answered said he’d tried getting dancers and customers to wear masks, but it’s a hassle so he’d mostly given up on it. I went somewhere else.

Hope all involved are ok.

That’s a shame. :/ thanks for the update. Most of the dancers are on the younger side and are college students. (There are exceptions tho)—so it’s not too surprising and hopefully everyone recovers quickly enough.

"The researchers analyzed patients an average of 60 days after the onset of COVID-19 symptoms. Only 12.6% of patients had no COVID-19 symptoms at the time of evaluation. The remaining 87.4% reported symptoms: 32% showed one or two symptoms and 55% showed three or more symptoms. No participants showed fever or signs of acute COVID-19, the researchers reported. Almost half — 44% — of patients reported a lower quality of life following COVID-19. "

Does not sound fun. Most of my younger friends got it already. None went to the hospital but all of them said it was extremely unpleasant. Would not be shocked to hear all these young kids getting it now will like die in their 50's or some weird unforseen shit.

Still, it really sort of seems inevitable, like cancer. It's not a matter of if, but when.
