Are clients hiring/escorts working ?

[kaboom35]

Hey all, I've been kind of out of the loop with hiring since the shutdown so I've rarely been making visits to this site. I've been pretty adamant with not hiring until this is all over (which we won't have a definitive ending time) but the last few days I have been getting the itch to meet up with a regular Los Angeles escort (who I don't even know if he is seeing clients yet). Are guys hiring and escorts working these days? Just curious. Am I stupid if i take the leap if i'm not showing symptoms and he assures me he's healthy as well?

There really isn't a right answer for everyone. We all have to make our own risk/reward decisions.

I am currently practicing strict social distancing with the exception of weekly grocery shopping (where I try my best to be careful). Therefore, I am not currently hiring. I also am not meeting up with anyone else. It isn't ideal, but that is my choice.

 

Let's start with the easy questions:

So are people hiring, yes, some are.

Are escorts working, yes, some are.

 

And now the harder one:

Are you stupid to take the leap, maybe. If you have underlying risk factors ( i.e. age, chronic health issues, heavy smoker etc.) then it wouldn't be wise. Likewise, if you are sharing space with your elderly parents and/or children. If not putting yourself or others at great risk, then it is probably not so bad. Consider self quarantine after.

 

Final thoughts:

I don't think saying or thinking you (or your partner) are not infected with Covid-19 is helpful. I mean, definitely don't meet up if either of you are experiencing symptoms, but remember that Covid-19 appears to have a solid history of asymptomatic transmission. Therefore, it might be safest to assume you are both potentially positive for Covid-19.

Consider temperature checks for both of you just prior to interacting. Also consider discussing whether or not your potential partner might have recently travelled to or from an area associated with a high infection rate.

i do not disagree with anything you are saying. I am young and healthy, no underlying risk factors and living alone. But thanks, you have given me something to think about.

Many on both sides. I have seen pages of escorts on Rentmen, increasing little by little in the last 2 weeks. Not wise to take the risk if the client hasn't been infected and is 50+ (no matter health conditions). Don't quote me on this but apparently there is no risk or reinfection if you already tested positive for Covid and are now asymptomatic. If you are TOO horny I would talk to your doctor to make the best informed decision. Every person is a different universe.

This by far is the best answer I've seen and agree. I have a gay doctor that I consult with before making any risky moves. Thanks @orville.

I possibly let Covid-19 scare me a little more than I should... but keep these 2 things in mind if you are looking for strength to stay safe...

 

 

Example: Nick Cordero

Nick is 41 years old. He had no pre-existing health conditions. We do not know how he got COVID-19, but he did. He went to the ER on March 30th and intubated on a ventilator on April 1. Since then has he has suffered an infection that caused his heart to stop, he needed resuscitation, he had two mini-strokes, went on ECMO, went on dialysis, needed surgery to [remove] an ECMO cannula that was restricting blood flow to his leg, a [fasciotomy] to relieve pressure on the leg, amputation of his right leg, an MRI to further investigate brain damage, several bronchial sweeps to clear out his lungs, a [sepsis] infection causing septic shock, a fungus in his lungs, holes in his lungs, a tracheostomy, blood clots, low blood count and platelet levels, and a temporary pacemaker to assist his heart. This disease does not only [affect] old people. This is real. A perfectly healthy 41-year-old man!

'I gave this to my dad': COVID-19 survivors grapple with guilt of infecting family

A haunting feeling afflicts those who believe that in the fog of the coronavirus’ early spread, they unwittingly exposed the people they loved the most.

https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/i-gave-my-dad-covid-19-survivors-grapple-guilt-infecting-n1207921

 

Paul told his father he believed he was the likely source.

“I’m sorry, Pops,” he said.

On April 9, after Robert had been in the hospital for a week, they had their final conversations. Paul thanked him for being a good parent. He assured his father that he would take care of his mother, and help pay the bills.

“Thank you, son. You are a wonderful son and I’ll see you in heaven someday,” Robert replied.

Later that afternoon, the hospital called Paul to say he could visit his father the following morning. As he was preparing to leave, his sister called with a palliative care nurse on the line. Robert had died.

“I just killed my dad,” Paul told his girlfriend after hearing the news. “I gave this to my dad.”

She told him he was not responsible because he didn’t know if he had the virus, and he never intended to harm his father. His sister and his mother also reassured him.

But he could not let it go. A few relatives questioned why Paul didn’t call an ambulance sooner. He overheard his mother defending him on the phone.

“It’s an odd feeling, like you’re not at peace,” he said. “You can’t get rest because you’re still dealing with the guilt.”

 

Even if you survive, could you handle being the cause of killing others?

All very sobering. That said, I’m certain there’s a fair amount of hiring, judging by the recent dates of Rentmen reviews.

Right? There have certainly been a lot of unfortunate cases but I keep some skepticism when I hear "no pre-existent conditions". And yes, just in the last week I've sometimes seen 2 and 3 reviews per day (?) I can't avoid to be shocked as I'm still somewhat afraid but if you are 40 or less, or if you already got it and you are fully recovered and asymptomatic, or even better if you get tested to confirm that you are positive for antibodies and negative for infection, then those escorts "could" re-start activities with some cautions, i.e.: I would screen clients asking them if they are coughing, sneezing or have fever or other symptoms. I would also stop partying during sessions as any kind of smoking will be prone to lower your immune system and Covid main target are your lungs.

[JTtorretto]

I live in NYC. And as of today (May 16th), I still don’t personally know anyone who got sick with covid-19. And none of my friends, clients, family, colleagues etc = know of anyone personally whos been dealing with having the virus.

There are the extremely rare cases of a “healthy normal 35 year old” who “falls deathly ill” etc. However, these are outlier causalities and not the norm.

I quoted only a portion of your post. By the way, your post makes perfect sense.

 

When you wrote, "not hiring until this is all over" you do realize that you are talking about a long time.

 

If you listen to Trump, you are talking about later this year before you can likely begin hiring which is when Trump claims that a vaccine will be available to the public.

 

If you listen to the scientists and doctors, you are talking about at least a year or more before any vaccine is available to the general public. Even then, any vaccine produced must be tested and it might not be effective.

 

If effective, then safe hiring can be done sometime next year if you receive a vaccine that is effective.

 

If not effective, you can add another year or so of abstinence.

 

So we must decide, hire - now or later. That is not an easy decision.

 

Life, as we knew it before the virus arrived, is gone. Life will not return to the way it was. No doubt about that.

 

If one is healthy and willing to take chances, I see nothing wrong in hiring at this time provided an informed and educated decision is made about hiring and its related risks.

 

People being isolated and abstaining from sexual activity will cause a lot of mental damage to otherwise mentally healthy people. That is something to consider when deciding to hire or not.

I’m a middle age man and an adult who understands the risks. The thing I will think about is my family (elderly parents and relatives with health issues) and the fact even if I don’t get sick I could transmit something to them that could kill them. I don’t think I would be able to live with myself if I passed it on to someone and they died.

Not so clear; 13 USS Theodore Roosevelt sailors tested positive after recovering.

Exactly!

 

If guys violated social distancing and took the chance to get infected and passing it to others... what else can we expect from them?

[orville]

Not so clear; 13 USS Theodore Roosevelt sailors tested positive after recovering.

That's why it's better if one tests negative for infection after recovery. There was a girl in Italy who was asymptomatic but kept testing positive for infection after 2 months. The times of incubation and clearance of this virus are not the same for everyone.

Consider yourself lucky. I lost a friend and many of my acquaintances have lost family. Most of them were over 50 in age, but few of them had any pre-existing conditions.

[Guest Cayden]

I have not began to take clients yet. I stopped taking clients at the beginning of March when things began to shut down here in LA and I do not have a timeline for when I will take clients again....I actually am not sure if I will take clients again although I do miss it. I’m just waiting to see how things fleshout.

[cany10011]

My doorman lost a brother, my neighbor lost his cousin and aunt/uncle in the same week, and a friend lost a colleague. In my office building, we were informed there were 2 other offices that had infected individuals. I am playing it safe and not hiring for the foreseeable future. Saving almost 5K a month!

[+ DrownedBoy]

In my line of work, it's not uncommon to see people come into the office with the flu and such. I've always said that this in itself could infect a chain of carriers and eventually kill someone.

 

Hopefully after Covid, businesses will wise up to all the lost productivity they incur by forcing people to come in sick.

 

However, it's near impossible to prove that you caught an airborne disease from a specific person.

[Chuckball]

My favorite escort dropped out of the business when Covid hit. I received a call from him saying that he was limiting his engagements to just three people who are fully vaxxed and willing to spend a night. We had a great time and felt totally safe.
