    I completely understand your intent on wanting to post your disclaimers as a way to reduce spam, bots, trolls and time wasters. All businesses have this same issue to deal in some respect. 
     
    I would say as someone browsing potential hires, I would probably not attempt to connect based on the stern tone. I think there is a better way to edit that message a bit without sounding like everyone is annoying you. I also would pass because of the booking fee as it comes across as self righteous. I am not a provider, so I’m not the expert at advertising your services, but I know in other businesses, this would be a turnoff to potential customers. 
     
    I think advertising should focus on engaging the client to book you without hesitation. There has to be an allure or something that creates the desire to connect. Marketing 101. Selling, marketing, advertising is all a game. Stay focused on winning people over, not pushing people away. Disruptions, as annoying as they can be, is a part of business. I would guess that if someone reached out more than once as a follow up is someone who is interested…just in case you are truly bombarded with the amount of spam, etc that you described. People want to connect with someone who comes across as sincere, genuine and appreciative. You attract more bees with honey. 
     
    My two cents as a business person, and client. Wishing you success.

    Having moved to NYC 20+ years ago, eventually one gorgeous morning of September 2017 with blue sky and no clouds I went very early by car to Sayville, parked  in the almost empty parking lot of the Ferry dock, and made the lovely transfer to the Pines in an almost empty ferry. I had breakfast at the dock, walked a little bit in the "village" then walked to the beach, chose a very quiet spot, put my beach chair by the ocean, spent a few hours taking the sun, swimming and chatting with a couple of people, and eventually went back to the Dock, Sayville and Brooklyn.
    I have passed by at least 25 years the time when I could have enjoyed the gay scene and the Meatrack, and having become with age a bit allergic to crowds I really enjoyed the beauty and quietness of the place, the ferry ride, the beach.
    I went another 3 times since, choosing a beautiful day during the week, arriving early morning and coming back in the afternoon.

    Masks were more effective when the disease was 1) less transmissible and 2) more virulent. At this point, especially with meds to take when you come down with COVID, the chance of getting severely ill are much slimmer than before. I'm not interested in wearing a mask anymore simply because I might happen to give COVID to someone who isn't vaccinated of their own choosing. Kids can get vaccinated now as per the FDA and CDC. So if parents make the choice not to vaccinate their kids, that's on them. I don't see it as my moral obligation anymore to take on extra measures for the sake of others who won't do it for themselves. It's one thing if vaccination and therapeutics weren't here, but they are. People are choosing to not get vaxxed. And as for those who can't get the shot, that's always been the case for other diseases too. Yet we don't all put on masks because someone can't get get the shot for whooping cough, for example. That person has to be more careful. It's time for people to assume more personal responsibility. COVID is here forever.

    What's tragically comical is that that that you have argued for months that COVID hospitalizations were not increasing.  Now you matter-of-factly acknowledge that Michigan COVID hospitalizations have more than doubled since April 1.  In the same breath, you say "nearly nobody is getting sick BECAUSE of the virus".  News flash:  Being hospitalized due to COVID means you're getting sick because of COVID.
    Honestly, just throw in the towel.  Your theories have been fully debunked.  The curtain has been pulled back great wizard.  The gig's up.  Omicron is raging.  Hospitalizations are up everywhere (which you have consistently denied until today).  COVID isn't over.

    You must have been looking in the mirror when you composed this line.  
    Meanwhile COVID hospitalizations are up again this week in Michigan.  This is now 6-7 weeks of continuous increases in COVID hospitalizations in the state.  From 473 persons hospitalized on April 1 to 1146 on May 18.  Hospitalizations in Michigan have more than doubled since April 1.   Yet our faux doctor is pushing the theory that no-one is getting sick from Omicron in the US.  Complete B.S. and he knows it.  The test positivity rate is running between 14-18% here depending on the day so we have a high rate of transmission resulting in a continuous increase in COVID hospitalizations.  This has been going on now since the end of March.

    I cite actual figures/data from real sources.   Every news story on COVID nearly everywhere is covering the COVID hospitalization increases throughout the country.  Literally everyone is talking about the increase in hospitalizations.  Well everyone except you that is.  Sad sad Unicorn.

    A 20 percent rise in hospitalizations in the last two weeks is not "barely budging" as you would have it.
    The usual pattern of denial and obfuscation by retired "Doctor".

    Antonio1981 reacted to EZEtoGRU in COVID Gains After Mask Rules Dropped   
    As COVID hospitalizations are increasing everywhere and with COVID deaths increasing in some places, our "doctor" is now saying deaths attributed to COVID aren't actually COVID deaths after all.  People are dying from other things and just happen to test positive for COVID at the same time.  I guess that means that the doctors and real health professionals that officially attribute someone's death to COVID don't know what they're doing.
    "Doctor" Unicorn will literally say anything now to desperately hang onto his narrative that whilst cases are increasing, COVID hospitalizations remain flat.  That is patently false...and he knows it.  Sad sad Unicorn as he watches his theories and predictions swirl down the toilet.
    Masking needs to be mandated again anywhere indoors where people are together.  That's the main takeaway here.  I still mask up anytime I'm around people anyway.

    What a complete load of crap from our esteemed "doctor".  Updated numbers in Michigan today.  Hospitalizations now up here for the 5th straight week.  Michigan hospitalizations on April 1 were 473 patients....now as of today our hospitalizations are at 903 patients.  Unicorn thinks that is staying "relatively flat".  Complete bunk.
    As far as deaths go, Unicorn says its "practically zero" yet we are still losing about 10 per day to COVID here in Michigan.  76 Covid deaths here in the last 7 days.    I guess those 76 people don't count for Unicorn.
    Here is the latest report:

    I would think that the jobs of providers might put some at a higher risk of mental health or addiction issues. I feel badly for those who fall into a rabbit hole of misery & addiction.  Wouldn't wish that on anyone!
    My brother passed away in his early fifties from decades use of alcohol & crack/cocaine. It was horrible to witness

    Hiring can turn into an addiction with the right circumstances/personalities involved.  Long term harm could be transactional view for all relationships and going broke/into debt.
