  1. Or they could live with an older relative, or have a partner who is a healthcare worker, etc. My guy is married to a nurse, for example.
  2. Real estate is going to take a big hit there and it had pretty much only just recovered from 2008-10.
  3. I have washcloths and laundry detergent, I'll be fine when I run out. People are incredibly stupid. Which is how we got in this situation in the first place....
  4. Jeri Ryan needs to get her own spinoff series out of this.
  5. The issue isn't an individual one. Yes, if you yourself get coronavirus, the odds you yourself will have a serious complication are low. It's about slowing the SPREAD. We are likely all going to get it, but if we all get it in a two month span, there will be hell to pay. About 5% of patients require a stay in the ICU. We only have about half a million ICU beds in the country, most of which are occupied at any given time. So that's more like 200,000 "free" beds. 5 % of 330 million is over 16 million. Assuming people are in ICU for just a week, the cases need to be spread over EIGHTY WEEKS to not overload the system. When the system DOES get overloaded, those "complications" become far more likely to become "fatalities." The school closures/event cancellations are not to protect the kids, they're to disrupt the trajectory of infection and spread it out over a longer period so fewer people die.
  6. I wouldn't count on travel insurance covering you, as since the outbreak was already known about in January, it's quite possibly excluded in the policy language.
  7. I would be concerned that between now and then there will be some travel restrictions placed whether by the government or your employer and you might be forced to take 2 weeks off work involuntarily. Do you know if they would pay you?
  8. Deodorant stays in better when you shave. I do it for that reason not particularly for aesthetics.
  9. I think the fear would be of local officials taking an interest and people thinking the escort assisted in suicide or something worse.
  10. I have to say, if Bel Ami is your "type" the vast majority of their models are close enough to each other in appearance I'd think ot would mitigate the "not the guy in the pictures" issue. It's not a profession most people approve of and a lot of these guys have day jobs. I can't get too worked up about what they do to preserve the semblance of anonymity if the pictures are close enough. If the picture is not even close, then yes it's a problem.
  11. I had quite a few lapdances over the years from strippers who dated female strippers - it's a lot easier for them to date someone else in the biz. If you are near a male strip club you could probably find it pretty easily.
  12. atgonlinecoaching.com . They come off a little cultish, but if you follow the program you will see results.
  13. @kneesovertoesguy on instagram. His posts are lostly about basketball but there are several programs to choose from.
  14. Yikes! Good luck!
  15. Good grief. What the hell is wrong with people?
  16. Are you sure it wasn't just a mass text to everyone in his contacts? Seems unlikely he'd reach lut to you specifically.
  17. Well apparently that was too much because according to Squirt it's closed now.
  18. There is zero political will to spend more but the reality is the population is aging and total medical needs are increasing. My sister's nursing home has gone from being, in her words, "not THAT bad - it's just like a really crappy resort" to somewhere I am afraid to go 24 hours without seeing her in person. She's wound up on IV fluids for dehydration twice because nobody noticed when she was having trouble feeding herself.
  19. Shouldn't mandating group be some sort of privacy violation? I realize it's not the most obvious thing to want to keep confidential, but you can't keep someone's medical info private if you are treating them with multiple observers. I am not in the field but I know a lot of PTs who have abandoned the insurance model altogether and went solo and charge cash. Others only take insurance as out-of-network so they can charge what they think is reasonable and the patient makes up the difference. May not be as feasible for OT or in your location depending on local income levels.
  20. You said the cost of incarceration is the cost of compassion. That is patently not true. The vast majority of the cost of incarceration is the cost of meeting the minimal standard of care the state owes people in its total control(building costs, round the clock security, surveillance). Making it more pleasant really wouldn't cost all that much as a percentage of costs. The majority of the costs are the building and building security, not comfort items. And making it more unpleasant (e.g. shitty food) doesn't really save all that much.
  21. It's not about compassion. It's about the fact that if you deprive someone of their liberty, you can't do so in conditions that facilitate loss of their life. You have a duty of care to people in your charge. It's an obligation, it's not optional.
  22. I have to say when it comes to lap dances I generally found the straight/bi guys were more "professional" about it. Probably because they knew it was definitely just a paycheck for them. Also maybe because some of them had been wrestlers etc they weren't really spooked by a lot of body contact with people they weren't attracted to.
  23. The license thing is bullshit because they can look that up online. Same with the registration and insurance.
  24. The initial registration for a new car lasts four years. The initial inspection sticker lasts 5. Why the hell should you have to renew a registration in the first place? The purpose is to know who the owner is, and they alreadyhave that info. If they want to raise revenue they can do it through the gas tax.
