We're all worried about exposure, and visiting providers who are seeing multiple clients a day over an extended period of time. That being said, don't you think they've already been exposed to COVID19 by this time and have already had it? In general younger and low risk group. So, they would be immune by this time and actually very low risk.

Possibly.

1) Having had Covid once does NOT mean you can't get it again. A number of people have. So if you can get it again, that means you can spread it. And no one knows how long the immunity lasts.
2) The fact that young people are a lower risk group for getting extremely sick from Covid if they get it does NOT mean they can't spread it. In fact some have become "super spreaders," infecting and killing their older relatives.

The number who have seemed to get it again is statistically insignificant.  (i.e. nearly 70 million cases worldwide and just a handful have supposedly got it again.)  For those who've supposedly got it again, there is the likelihood of false positives ... the rate of false positives is far larger than this tiny subset.

They amplify the virus to much. Many people with common cold and flu are being diagnosed with covid-19 when in fact they don't have it.

that we get every year are supposed to last 6 months on average.  That's why I get mine around Thanksgiving so that it lasts until the end of the flu season in May.  People that get them in September may see them lose their efficacy before the flu season is over, and they will still get the flu.  I'm guessing that the Covid vaccine will behave similarly.  I think its going to be a vaccine we get once or twice a year.

The numbers relating to this entire epidemic are so new it's totally premature to state any number is "statistically insignificant." We simply don't know yet. So stop pretend that YOU do, Fester. Now tell us exactly what number you've read that lets you conclude it's "just a handful?" Or did you pull that out of your ass?

Your info about the regular flu shot is correct, which is why I waited until November to get mine, too.
However, you are wrong in guessing the Covid vaccine will behave similarly. While there is no conclusive data on this, early results suggest the Pfizer vaccine retains its potency for at least several years.
But at least you described your theory as a guess. Keep up the good work!

Black-Panther, by your logic I might be wise to select a young high volume provider that is especially stupid or careless?

Wearing a common mask, while grappling and breathing heavily with someone, is uselessly silly.  It does not even rise to the level of "fig leaf", it's so transparent.  If a sex provider demands a mask, I know she isn't serious.  Thoughtful sex providers know the same about masked clients, but may be excused for taking their money anyway.

I wouldn't draw too many conclusions from "early results."  

While the results are, indeed, early, they support the conclusion that this particular virus does not mutate in fundamental ways that would make the vaccine ineffective.
As Yogi famously said, "You could look it up."

I'm on the fence. But with a vaccine on the horizon it is a compelling reason NOT to hobby. I was just thinking if a provider already had it would you advertise as such.

...it's pretty much what they're saying about people working in hospitals and such if they've already had it.

are wearing all kinds of PPE which they continually change. They also continually wash and disinfect, etc.
So there's that.
Oh, and lots of them have become infected. Some have died.
So don't count on it.

Don't you ever get tired of being wrong?

that , SO FAR, it hasn't  mutated in fundamental ways that would make the vaccine ineffective.  Isn't it a little early to start making "conclusions."  Judging from some of your other posts about Covid, I think you are in agreement about the "early" stage we are at in understanding this virus for the long term.

Did you read the part where I said they had already been infected and recovered; therefore, those were some of the ones they had go onto the Covid floors and where then continually exposed?

There have been hundreds of re-infections. So far.  
Don't you ever get tired of being wrong?

Who the hell really knows on mutation.  However, since COVID is Man Made, and I believe that is fact, perhaps it is designed not to mutate.

they are riddled with assumptions, guesses, contradictions and mis-information. For example, you refer to an "antibiotic," which would do nothing against Covid. Because Covid is a VIRUS and antibiotics only work on bacteria.
And I did read the part about their being infected and then recovered. But  I also made the point that this is not a guarantee against re-infection and no one knows how long immunity after the initial infection lasts. The article I used to rebut Fester's latest idiocy says there are hundreds of re-infections world wide and the number is sure to climb.
Bottom line: Covid is still very new and we are in the process of learning more about it every day.
The good news is vaccines are coming and if we can get through the next few months everything will be fine.

Your article was in National Geographic.  Hint hint, it is not a medical magazine.  It's like citing a Car & Driver article on COVID.

Both your claims are highly speculative and not fact based. I also think that given you hold those views you know nothing whatsoever about biochemical processes that would be involved in "designed not to mutate" -- as that is not possible.

There are lots of articles on the increasing number of re-infections. But keep your head up your ass, Fester. You're a dim bulb.

So who cares which publication reports it? That has nothing to do with whether the info is accurate, you dunce. Also, it was in the Science section.
Gawd you're stupid.

If you have the national average of 2.7 co-morbidities required to die from the Kung-Flu, keep your ass at home, wear your mask, etc. I’ll keep my healthy ass seeing the young ladies! And the OP has a very good point!

Even putting the number or reinfections at 500 worldwide (not clear exactly how confident either the Brazilians or the Mexicans were with their numbers but taking them at face that was about 350 but no one else seems to be seeing large numbers that I could find) that means 0.000723% reinfections.

He might become number two.  Its something to worry about if your nature is to be a worrier.  

Fester the pinhead is the numerical illiterate.

And, the type of errors (false positive and false negative) they do vary vigorously from test type to tests type!  

1. There are two equally important concepts: statistical significance and practical significance. Do you know them?
2. Especially in medicine, statistical significance can take the back seat to practical significance! For example, for things like infection rate of a new and not understood disease, practical significance can be more important and critical to observe. So, Nicky’s point is more robust in the debate here and more likely holds water over yours.
