Everyone.  

So with the "lockdown" or governor required stay at home requirements in place.  

How has it been affecting everyone?  From a providers viewpoint and a members. Specifically to enjoy these interactions.  

From my position, I am locked in at my home. Company has 95% of employees working remote, Mrs., also here, working remotely. No no time to get out and enjoy.  

What is everyone else seeing and trying do to?

I'm shocked at how things just seemed to drop off very quickly but most of my friends can't get out. What I noticed is that those who come to see me while supposedly golfing have made a return. I guess golf courses are open to for recreational play and so am I. Hope this lock-down will pass soon.

I'm in South Florida and if it weren't for my regulars I would be in a bad spot. I'm thankful for my regulars who I know and trust that if they were to get sick or anything like that they would let me know but still help me out. I have become alot more careful with my screening and have also started asking if people have traveled or been out of the country in the past 60 days. I know that some people carry the virus and dont even show symptoms so its risky on our end but a girls got to make a living and unfortunately its not like we can just go out and get a job!
I have found other ways of supplementing income thru my OF site, PPV messages, videos and snapchats and things like that but its not anywhere even close to what I was making! Im thankful I was able to get a stimulus check because that was a lifesaver!  
And I have also been told that its ALOT harder for my friends to escape the wife lol!

Oh and I just discovered the Available Now Board on here? Not sure how it works but going to try it!

Since a lot of people are asymptomatic  and it can take 14 days for symptoms to show up your reasoning about regulars doesn’t make a lot of sense.

Almost no work/play Mar & Apr.  Wearing mask n gloves to the store.  No public transportation or crowds for me!  

The question I've been asking potential clients (new and old) is:  Are you following CDC guidelines?   Are you wearing your mask to the grocery store or having groceries delivered?  If they laugh, I chose not to see them.  

What really annoys me is that the unemployment system is broken in Florida.  Folks who were fine living paycheck to paycheck are now on line for food!  I always had savings but... how long will I have to dig into my retirement?  

I can’t complain, I am lucky enough to have a regular business as well as this hobby. I’m happy to be in a position to help others and have done my best to do my part by volunteering  to shop for elderly and donate care packages for others in need. I also made a drive up to the Ocala area to visit with my grandmother and get some good ol grandma cooking LOL

Hopefully with things opening many will be back to work.

Yes, my encounters have been refined to predominantly regulars and I am much slower. That is fine, as I do not like to be too busy anyway. I am focusing on educational pursuits with my free time. The silver lining in this Covid situation for me, however, is that my clientele seem to relish our time together more and seem less distracted and not so hurried. Perhaps this is because they are not working and can stop and smell the roses now, so to speak! Also, they seem extra lonely from the isolation, so our time together is even more wonderful because of it. They appreciate me so very much. I am very happy actually.
