"That sore on my dick is from a spider bite."

Wouldn't make a difference to me.
 
A test result is meaningless to me unless he took the test in my presence and existed in an isolation bubble or my immediate space between test and session.
 
My test shouldnt give a provider absolute comfort. I could test Monday, come in contact, convert to carrier Tuesday, and receive negative report results Wed. I suppose one could find some comfort in the lowered likelihood indicated by a recent test.
 
For the record, I'm not hiring at present because my head's simply not in the right place to enjoy it. But fear of contracting Covid-19 is only a secondary factor in my rentguy-abstinence.

Growing up in the midwest, now 25+ years west coast....I have a new appreciation of the jingle I grew up hearing

"When they bring out the Hellman's, they bring out the Best!"
 
Interestingly, I find Hellmans here in CA in the low-end stores, like Big Lots, Grocery Outlet.
 
I still believe Hellmans to be the best commercial, shelf-stable taste. I've tried a few gourmet refrigerated brands, and found them to be worse.
 
Any time I am serving a mayo-based sauce to company... I make my own. There's no comparison.

I agree to cancel.
 
Outing? I wouldn't. That's an emotional reaction, and no one really knows the therapist's every motivation.
 
Maybe its a genuine belief that clients need their sessions. Maybe he's scared about income. Keeping things going.
 
Maybe he's just mistaken in beliefs. Or just plain wrong, making a bad decision under pressure.
 
What's it help to out the person? To add stress? Potentially wreck their career, or initiate online torture?
 
We're too quick to blame and cause others unanticipated harm in the digital age.
 
Just cancel and stay safe.

Perspective: not specifically about this interaction, client or rentguy.
 
There's a tendency for many to over-communicate. Particularly in texts, or even posts on social media. To over-explain. To communicate as if there's an underlying concern "I must be certain I'm conveying what I intend. That you not only get the message, but you understand exactly what I meant." Often to be certain that recipient isn't misinterpreting and won't be offended.
 
Just as I am intentionally doing in this post.
 
There are two or more people in any communication. The other guy may be inclined toward brevity. It may just be that they're wired to take offense when none is intended.
 
My learning... my own adjusted behavior: less is more. Avoid explaining myself. Stop seeking assurance that the other guy gets me 100%. Don't over-interpret, as it can result in going on and on and on..... until the likelihood of irritating the other guy is increased.
 
Brevity is an art I pursue. Obviously, I'm not yet an accomplished artist.
 
================
If the scenario happened to me, I'd either hang out and show at the planned time, or send a brief text "traffic light. Prefer now or 5pm?" And respond "OK" to either reply.
 
Plus, if there was an overreaction to that... I'd cancel, because it would indicate to me that its not going to be a match.

Maybe its not Corona
 
Maybe its because Maria's not an asset there.

Surgical masks do nothing against Covid-19

Regular surgical masks do nothing against viruses... the virus is much smaller than the pores on a mask
Specialty masks are in short supply... health care organizations are challenged by the unnecessary demand
A qualified mask might be recommended for someone whose ill, but not as prevention for a healthy person.
If we could observe the behaviors of people resorting to masks - even the right masks - many wear them incorrectly anyway. Plus, we'd see them rubbing their eye, touching their nose or lips around/under the mask or during quick displacements.

Although I'm not a fan of this source, its actually a pretty good summary on masks: https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/clarissajanlim/coronavirus-questions-masks-hand-sanitizers

Not clear what the question is? Will Covid-19 affect demand? What are the health risks?
 
Will it affect escorting? I dunno. Maybe older monied guys who are already respiratory-compromised will be more cautious.
People, markets, governments, hate unknowns. Hence the market reaction. Travel bans. Conferences and trade shows are geing cancelled. These factors will likely affect trade. Guys from smaller markets who hire when traveling will be challenged. Uncertainty in the digital age may dampen interests and urges.
 
Libido is a fairly strong driving force, so I wouldn't anticipate a major reduction in demand.
 
What are the risks of escorting during flu season? How often does an escort or client pass a cold or the flu?
 
The precautions of hand washing, not touching your face and eyes are prudent. A young, healthy escort, or client, probably has little to fear beyond flu and respiratory illness.

I'm in the full fat camp.

Breads: a puff pasty. A cornbread loaf.. a cornbread hoe cake. A yeast doughnut (didnt like that) a puff pastry shell. My favorite... brioche, no crust, griddled in clarified butter.
 
Protein accompaniment. I like but not wildly in love with bacon, ham, etc. Loved: Roasted wild mushrooms. Dungeness crab. Roasted cajun shrimp. Carnitas. Braised, shredded shortrib. But, the semi-traditional alternative remains my favorite: sliced smoked salmon
