Coronavirus

[jalimon]

When I was about 12 I remember behind out on the corn field with my grand father at his farm. We were on his tractor but I realized he stopped the engine on way home just look at the sunset. All of a sudden I ask him why he never spoke to anyone what was ww2 like. He said to me "I never spoke a single word about it because I erased this horrible time period of my life for which some madmen were responsible. Madmen that do not realize the beauty of a sunset".

Alive we can rebuild anything. Think about all healthcare worker that are risking their life to save some. If you still think we just let it go in the name of saving the economy sorry but there is no humanity in you. We do not need you.

“[FONT=&quot]Speaking with the [/FONT]LA Times[FONT=&quot], Mr Levitt said he wasn’t prepared to offer a specific date for the end of the coronavirus crisis in America, but said that there are “clear signs of slowed growth”.

wonder what exactly those signs are? [/FONT]

I believe that companies that are still operating during these times should be boycotted as it irresponsible. They are endangering the lifes of those girls.

especially now that community spread is on the rise

This guy is a biology professor, not an epidemiologist, not a physician scientist, or not a virology professor. Why do we care about his intuitive thoughts?

I agree but the girls are endangering their lives too -- and those of other people. They're adults and bear as much responsibility as the agency owners.

I think personally the world can sustain a 2 month, maybe 3 months shutdown. If it is what is needed to go back to normal, im fine with it. Im not saying over 2-3 months we should go back to EVERYTHING normal, i think borders should remain closed longer, but if by the 2-3 months mark we have not eradicated the virus in Quebec while on lockdown, there is a freaking problem... Personally i think the PROVINCE should go back to its everyday life by the 2 month marks. I mean... its a 2 week virus right? Lets say some peoples are still being infected tomorow, count 2 weeks from it and that make it under mid-april.. Lets say there is a few left overs by beginning of may... After that, if peoples respect the shutdown, if borders are indeed very closed, there should NOT BE any new cases unless peoples are morons...

So yes traveling may still be "banned", but here we shouldn't have anymore of the virus so regular jobs and business should be opened.

The world can't be on complete lockdown for a year... its too insane.

As for SW still working... well at least there is no more tourist and lets hope they don't get in contact with any locally contaminated person, but i do think they should all close shop for at least 3 weeks... But its not my decision to make.

Now Prince Charles tested positive.

If we use modelling stats from china the 50000 tested positive in the US would actually mean a possibility of 1350000 positive. About 80% of those will never know. They are the one dangerous because they can spread it fast.

A so-called 'boycott' is not required since boycotts rarely work. There will always be people around ignoring the 'boycott'. Simply show a bit of self-restraint & practice masturbation will do wonders. Whether an sp decides to continue working or not is a personal choice. Same thing for the 'john' if he wants to continue seeing prostitutes for his sexual gratification. But they have to understand that at this point in time there are tremendous risks involved which may lead to harming their health & the health of others. People have always seemed to believe what happens to others won't likely happen to themselves. This is a bad human trait that way too many of us have. That's why you'll still see johns & sp hooking up.

It's way easier for the 'johns' to pull themselves away from the 'hobby' for at least the next few months. They can get their sexual gratification in other ways, as i mentioned above. But as i said over & over there are way too many sp in this business who literally have no money & live day-by-day. They cannot collect unemployement insurance if they decide to postpone their presence in the sex business. Many of them also have young children to support. They may need the money badly. So going on leave from the business isn't that easy of a decision. As for agencies i agree that the optics aren't great. But as long as they have girls who want to continue working many will stay open since they know full well that the girls will move over to their competitors that are still chosing to do business. But again this is a personal choice agency operators have to make: can they still look in the mirror knowing full well they may be contributing to the problem instead of helping? If not then the shutdown & will figure things out later when things start returning back to normal. And if they can still look in the mirror & have no guilt by continuing to operate than they'll continue to operate until they eventually get forced to shut down.

Personally a 'boycott' is irrelevant since i made my decision months ago that i will not be seeing anymore sp until likely next fall or later once i'm certain the pandemic is gone. So let's say that i'm personally boycotting the entire sex business for my own personal reasons, well-being and the well-being of others.

It's only a matter of time until the United States become the coronavirus centerpoint of the entire planet. With an ignoramus like Trump as the country's president i truly don't doubt the country's mishandling of the pandemic will unfortunately turn out to be catastrophic. The election of Donald Trump came at exactly the worse time in the country's entire history! May God bless America!

Well, we live in insane times like it has never been seen in over a 100 years....so anything's possible. It wouldn't surprise me if we're still in this position a year from now and it possibly lasts until the summer of 2021. I really hope not, but it wouldn't surprise me. It also wouldn't surprise me if the US/Canada border remains closed down for at least another year. Things will likely get much worse in the United States....especially if Trump gets his way & forces people to get back to work in a 3 weeks. But i hope common sense prevails.

We can’t be in this position a year from now. If the economy remains shutdown the supply chain will eventually erode and nobody will have any food or basic necessities of living. Hunting and fishing may be doable for some people but we have too large a population to feed everyone. Think Biafra in the early 1970s- those who don’t die from illness starved to death or died of malnutrition. This is the reason why the economy can’t stay shut down for 3 months- not because “life is boring.” Think Supply Chain. If things stay shut down it will disappear. Do not take it for granted that you will be able to eat if the economy is shut down for a year. Even if you have a 1 year supply of Maruchan Ramen Noodle soup (just add boiling water), can you survive eating nothing but? Where is the vitamin C and D in that diet?

If you look at the flight sky of China as of now you can see that they are getting back to life. Even Wuhan as in and out internal flights. School and commerce are re-opening. It took them 2 months. But not full 2 months confinement for all regions. Will it be the same for Europe? For America?

If you look at serious case in Spain versus Italy you quickly see that Italy has a superior healthcare system (which is well known in Europe). That will be something to look for in the US. Will poor people die in more important quantity (as I suspect in Spain). And/or will the generally more unfit USA versus Europe or China will be an important factor?

 

[jalimon]

Interesting. Patron I am sure our leaders know of such positive scenario. But they cannot announce or act based on such because:
1. Current curb of affected is still too high for our healthcare system
2. Fear that population will mix up the ease of social distancing measure with full liberty

But I am too quite positive regarding the next weeks. We will have a peak in about 6-7 days. Which will last 10 days before we can ease up and slowly get back to regular life.

A 21 year old woman in England with no prior health issues has died of covid19.

For you under 40`s its not only the old and sick who are at risk. Stay healthy and self quarantine.

Here is a study that might not generate as many objections from some of you, since the researchers have not appeared on Chinese news networks.

https://www.yahoo.com/news/oxford-study-suggests-millions-people-221100162.htm

the link to the paper can be found on twitter and from the discussion that follows it appears the FT misquoted the researcher. also the study is a draft awaiting further review

Don't you worry EB

Guess who will be coming to the rescue...

I read that Italy has the 2nd-best healthcare system in the world. The problem with them is that the population is considerably older than many other countries, which is quite possibly a result of it's top-notch healthcare system. That's why the death numbers are so high.

The panic (like a virus itself) does more damage than the virus.

Nonetheless, it is a dangerous virus. I have read a non-reviewed paper that's really scary.
I am not sure I should mention it. You can always google.

If the whole world lockdowned sooner, this would not have happened. India is doing an
impressive 21-day shutdown for its 1.3 billion people.
