Should I put on Hold massage ?especially the busy masseurs NYC are higher risk of spreading corona virus?

[Dicknharry1]

I think guys should hold off . Some of these masseurs dont care about the well being if their clients . They just wants$$

Agree to that 200%

I was nervous enough getting a haircut in DC back on March 13th, and not because it was Friday the 13th. If I had a massage right now, I think the anxiety alone would be enough to kill me.

Exactly what I did the other day.

I have a dye job blonde on the top, so had to be extra careful.

I feel confident enough to go to the store for produce without a hat?

There was a running joke online about everything being shutdown, that our true hair colors will show lol!!!

I gave myself a haircut on Friday. Well, to be fair, "cut" might suggest scissors and I just used a trimmer. It turns out that if you have little hair left, it's hard to mess it up.

I went to Whitman walker on 14th st in Logan Circle. I was in south beach for Winter Party. My entire group became infected at one of the events.

 

I was dating a guy who lived in Toronto who tested positive for Covid; Since we had a relationship the DC Department of Health tested me.

 

You got lucky!

He was actually my friend. So I wasn't lucky..

I'm sorry to hear that!

 

I hope his passing reminds folks that younger guys can also need hospitalization.

Two other friends who went to Winter Party are also infected.... I was in Miami right before that time and glad I decided not to go to the WP.

I assume that's why Whitman Walker here in DC stopped doing STD exams 2 weeks ago. I'm glad they're diverting services to prioritize Covid-19.

[hypothetically]

Per the copious questions about whether one should still be hiring in a climate where literally someone is dying every 9.5 minutes in cities like NYC. I'm afraid it's looking like natural selection is going to do what natural selection is suppose to do here on this forum.

How you will identify who sees a lot of clients or who not?

Clients or masseurs are in the same risk. However, masseurs will survive they are young.

Many of them are in their 50s and 60s and are still very busy. What about them?

Would they honor that 'advance' 18 months from now?

They wouldn't be professional if they didn't.

Maybe they shouldn’t be seeing clients?

I meant in general.

No one sees clients currently, if they did that would be so irresponsible.

At this very moment there are 25 guys on RentMasseur advertising as “Available Now” in NYC and another 80 available now within 1000 miles of NYC.

There are also a lot of messages here/there in the forum from escorts/masseurs stating “available now” doesn’t always mean available NOW.

It looks like the virus is here for a very long time, probably years, possibly for ever. We may have better treatments but there’s no guarantee of that or if a cure. As with anything in life there are risks and if the virus is here forever then everyone is going to have to learn to live with it if some sort of life is to go on. The alternative is we all stay inside and avoid any unnecessary human contact. What should we choose? To live alone but safe or live a life that carries greater risk. It’s got to be a personal choice whilst minimising risks to others who make a different choice. I don’t blame or criticise anyone for making either choice. In many ways life has always been like this...(alcohol, drugs, smoking etc) are all choices all with personal and external costs to society. This situation is no different.

Just read this entire thread and it was quite fascinating to see early opinions vs opinions now. It seems so much of the spread is through droplets when people talk loudly, sneeze or cough. The surface spread seems to be viable but not nearly as likely.

The masseur who talked about multiple negative tests (back to the throat) seems to have no credibility as the swab goes upward toward the brain not downward to the throat.

 

There is a lot of misinformation out there. While the numbers continue to look encouraging, we aren’t out of the woods. Wear masks. Socially distance. Wash your hands.
