I just recovered from the coronavirus.

[Rombulous]

@Rombulous I am sorry to call you out like this. I am more than sure I will be ostracized in the community for this. You continued to argue that there were less chances of contracting covid-19 from a provider well into late Feb and early March in various threads. Granted, everyone was flying blind as you mentioned. Hack, our own mimbo moron nonsense of a mayor probably sole reason for the severity of the outbreak as we stand. However, I think your firm stand on the hypothesis that one should continue to monger was an ill advise in my opinion.

Sometime being cautious and preaching safety for fellow monger is probably right course of action. I know that sounds ultra self righteous

However, I am glad that you are in good health now. We are almost there, 3-6 weeks till normalcy.

I wasn't necessarily firm on continuing to monger on but rather ONLY saying you won't monger and STILL riding the NYC subway and STILL going into crowded Manhattan office buildings would be pointless.

Bottom line is the lockdown probably came too late for NYC. Numbers wise Spas should not be at the top of your list unless the provider was visibly coughing snot running out of her nose and low energy. Meanwhile you have jackass old Men in my neighborhood standing around in the middle of high trafficked streets coughing on people as they pass by.

My point is sure, AMPs could be a vector, but many mongers were foolishly ignoring the top 5 vectors and promoting the idea that if they somehow had a "Come to Jesus" moment that they wouldn't catch the virus. Emotions were taking over logic.

Bottom line is a crowded grocery store is more lethal right now than a single THOT.

I really hope so, it’s weird not being able to smell..also that’s another thing, I don’t feel my stamina is fully back yet.

Make sure your diet is as good as it can be. And you have to take multivitamins and additional vitamin C with magnesium.

Most Americans don't pay attention to their Nutrition and eat mindfully with the objective of having 100% DV of all nutrients. This is why people are getting hit so hard and dying.

When any sort of severe illness hits what determines the outcome often is how robust your nutritional reserves were along with starting baseline health before the infection.

News out of Korea is that "cured" people are getting reinfection and the relapses are more serious.
Be careful

I read that it had to do with some faulty test kits saying they are virus free and also, in some cases, it being dormant until they trigger again. I wish it was due to some faulty test kits so that it is not more serious than what it is.

I was lucky stopped going to Nancy’s in December and won’t be with any provider before August.Stay well.

You stopped going to Nancy's. Great. That's all well and good but...

Did you stop going to the supermarket?

Your kids school?

The Office?

Business meetings/lunches?

Remember guys, this is not an STD!

Nancy got the virus, you didn't see her. She got on a bus. She coughed into kid's face. The kid's mother smacked her. She coughed on the Mom. The Mom touched her own face and the kid's face with the same hand she smacked Nancy with. (She smacked the snot out of her nose and some got on her hand.)

That kid went to school. The mother went to work. Remember this is late last year when COVID19 was just some faraway thing. Nobody was paying that close attention to hygiene and definitely not social distancing, plus kids symptoms appear to be extremely mild and unnoticeable. Eventually it goes around and you get it from a cashier in January who is asymptomatic and just happened to sneeze off to the side. It doesn't matter. It's an explosion of viral particles that goes everywhere in a 5 meter radius.

Exaggerated somewhat but you get my drift... Whether or not you stayed home from AMP, you live in NYC area and cannot avoid people. You didn't see Nancy but you got it anyway. I could see before the announcement that it was endemic, mongers would be concerned about being questioned by the health department why you were associated with a quasi-legal Chinese immigrant. But after the news broke regarding the Italian contagion that perception was gone. No longer the "Chinese virus" and funny thing is WHY HAVE WE NOT HAD A SINGLE COVID19 DEATH IN FLUSHING AND RECORDED RATES ARE LOW THERE?

It's actually quite high in LATINO communities oddly enough.

One of the reasons that Elmhurst, Corona, and Jackson Heights have been hit so hard is because there are many people living in crowded apartments and basements. The NY Times had an article about the plight of many Latinos who lived in cramped conditions - sometimes sharing a mattress with a roommate! Because of their low wages and living conditions they have definitely been much more susceptible than other areas of Queens.

For sure many living together a factor but having a few thousand mongers everyday in Elmhurst,Jackson Heights,Corona and Flushing having sex or getting a blow job added to the problem of Coronavirus in these area’s.

I’m more inclined to believe I would be safer in a spa than in a supermarket, on a subway, at a ball game or just about any other place. I don’t know any, including SWers who have been afflicted.

No way safer when providers are with flithy mongers.I will agree subway is probably more dangerous.

With the exception of fast houses....Compared to most establishments we walk into, Spas on average have better hygiene. That being said, the supermarkets now are probably cleaner than they've ever been in the past 20 years because of all of this...

IMO, the cheapie joints are worse than the more upscale agencies.
Nothing will convince me otherwise.
Agree 100% though, that the supermarket is worse than all of them.

The supermarkets have rotated ALL of their inventory a few times over given the insane demand.

Absolutely. supermarkets are one crazy vector now.

Surgeon general already said, this virus was hitting blacks and Latinos more than others. He also clarified, this was not due to genetic building but rather social aspect of it. This virus is definitely attacking based on class structure. Low income areas people have to live in more concentrated living condition, and sheer proximity to another infected person spreading the virus further.

Super Market, Subway all are critical places where you can get virus for sure. However, so can you get it from a spa. Remember all she need is on infected client where the virus is asymptomatic. She literally looking directly into the infected guys face during flip etc. Spas are not more dangerous than supermarket but equally dangerous like Subway and Supermarket

Spa owners know it and that is why they shutdown all spas.

There is also weird immunity factor. I am not sure how many of you ever visited Asian country, but South Asian country is beyond imaginable. India Bangladesh slums are probably most unhygienic densely populated part of the world. The rate of virus spread is extremely low in those countries; granted those governments are probably fuzzing the number.

However, NYC government definitely had the opportunity to address this better, I think yesterday more than half a million people were infected in United States; and large number of them can be probably traced back to NYC

Iceland has dealt with it how a western country should deal with it and that is why they did not need to shutdown their country.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020_coronavirus_pandemic_in_Iceland#Prevention_Measures

We have idiots and morons running the show here in NYC. Hopefully government will wake up and step up to improve public health infrastructure of our country.

Sadly, all will take place: bunch of committees, and business will surface. They will spend tons of money and come back and propose something like wash your hands daily.

For now. this is the only way to ensure your survival

In general I would assume (most) Spas are on par with Barber shops and beauty salons as far as infection of CV19.

Yes one of our spa sees guys and they are in close space maybe even sharing fluids. But not counting fast houses, spas (compared to other businesses) are low volume, and extremely hygienic. What other business do you know of where they use alcohol to clean after every customer?

I compare it to Barbershops because of the close contact for an extended period of time, even though Spas have more fluid sharing they also have fewer costumers per day and clean with alcohol and use hand sanitizer as standard practice, so I would say they're about the same.

And... barbershops are closed... so no kidding spas are too. I think it's silly to think spas are somehow dramatically spreading the virus at a greater rate than other industries.

 

[Ferris]

I'm still working and exposed to others all day. I think if I were home due to my job being shutdown it would be easier to quarantine. I've taken my chances with indies recently . Feels too good.

Where are you finding the indies?

 

[Ferris]

I read that it had to do with some faulty test kits saying they are virus free and also, in some cases, it being dormant until they trigger again. I wish it was due to some faulty test kits so that it is not more serious than what it is.

The tests aren't faulty, just difficult to understand. They do not test for antibodies... They only tell you whether you have enough active virus in your respiratory canal to trigger a threshold. A 'not detected' which is what you would see only means that at that moment you not shedding virus, 'sick' from COVID, or actively being attacked by enough virus to cause it to show up in the test.

 

[Ferris]

Yeah sounds like my symptoms. How were you able to get tested if you're relatively young? I've received emails from all HCP networks I've been to that basically imply if you have a "Mild" case (aka Dying and unconscious with dangerously low vital signs) then stay home and don't bother asking to be tested if under age 40.

You need to call NYS dept of health hotline for the drive through testing... Regardless of age, if you meet criteria you'll get an appt within a few days.
