Important. I recently wrote about syphilis here and the cascade effect from our CSWs making babies making whoopie, under the radar Dx, and congenital sequelae. Dengue spiked several hundred percent. I have had one, likely 2 subtypes here. High risk for hemorrhagic if exposed again. Brought a net canopy this time for the terrace on my little cobertura. It can be swung over the hammock as well. Interestingly, otherwise, I have not had many sightings and I have had no bites.

In fact the room rate sign is switched on the weekend.

Different locations, customs, conventions among bar workers, strip club peelers, brothel escorts ... apples, oranges, bananas. Giving a financial tip on demand based on explicit manipulation in Brazil would be frowned upon by many stakeholder groups within the trade dynamics. Simple example familiar to me outside of the BRZ context, strippers in NYC importune tips for interaction beyond private dance time, but it is simply not done in general in Montreal. One might go up to the stage and deposit a gratuity to a dancer, but making it rain in the general zone between stage and cubicle is just not the way.

Funny what different readers take from a crystal clear rendering of garoto [playful, amusing] impropriety. I snipped out the OP’s succinct description of the short encounter in question (below). I might say the 2 commercial sex workers were pushing the boundaries of #MeToo by overriding polite unambiguous decline signals, regarding erotic intentions that would unfold in a suite, except my friend’s Kevie’s profile handle would more appropriately be labelled ... NosetackleColossus. LOL. It. was somewhat unexpected that their importuning programa(s) would include spontaneous insertive oral intercourse, and his briefly permitting that would be the hospitable thing to do in that context, followed by JUST SAYING NO. Their gesture represents one of a range of normative seductive ploys, though I myself would have needed to think fast on my feet, as it would be a first for me. They requested payment predicated on his ORGASM, not based on their valuable seconds spent pursuing a trick. There was no ejaculation. They were communicating, outrageously: Pay for a phenomenon that has upticked commercial value but that never occurred. With sufficient language fluency and available time, the gesture of greatest magnanimity seeing as their line of employment, would be to school Rosencrantzio’s and Guildensternes’ comprehension of the stages of male human sexual response.

I may be adding more. In the meantime, please take liberties PM/DM. Hugs.

I have found the likelihood of program candidates matching my preferences is greater on Friday and Saturday. I think it is a combination of overall volume and the type of provider taking part on weekends. Again, nothing etched in stone, as my ‘research’ sampling to date is limited.

I only wished to get the financial part out of the way because the private room rent system is different from other venues to which I am accustomed. My intention is more to inform, as some readers prefer clarity over ambiguity, than to generate a huge volume of discussion about money in the oft ad nauseam fashion that occurs.

A few accommodating English-speaking providers were willing to briefly discuss that there was no hard and fast compensation guideline about the differential between 30 minute cabins and 55 minute suites. It goes without saying that various factors, too many to name here, come into play.

You may observe the slightly more comparative imperative of sorting out your trick’s paycheque based on the arbitrary room rent durations. So far, the expectations are variable and have ranged from guys content with ‘typical’ half-hour compensation for 50-55 minutes (sizeable proportion of the room inventory) to at least one provider requesting [counterintuitively and time clock count-deficient] 100% more (ie, double) compensation for tacking on 20 minutes to 30 minutes. The latter example being a guy without any apparent business yet prepared to leave cash on the table. More amusing that frustrating.

Private room price list Mon-Thurs (small blue print at the bottom of sign). As far as I know they do not switch this sign for Fri, Sat, Sun, holidays, BUT the cabin inflates by 10 to 35, and the first price tier of bathroom-inclusive quarters goes up by 5 to 55, while the second and top suite tiers remain the same.

The pathways are very straightforward and all at the front of the building structure. The sole exception is a short stairway, as delineated by the red asterisk, at the very back of the building from subterra reception level to the back of streetlevel Social. Just imagine the new opaque façade superimposed on the photo of the previous appearance. At street side at the juncture of each of 4 levels is placed signage indicating where you are. Example provided. (Parenthetically, I find the transitways simpler than Thermas in Barcelona).

Greetings, fellows. I am not sifting through previous reports, so some of this info may be redundant. I have been to Lagoa a few times this winter.

A lazy dick requires an industrious mouth and creative mind.

Nicely done; well organized, informative, and interesting. I am impressed how much you packed into such a short time, 12is12.

Much will depend on the ‘severity pyramid’. The mortality rate is more influenced by intensive care sustainability than baseline vulnerability to acuteness, eg, age, co-morbidity. In other words, the current mortality rate is attenuated by complex ICU care for a much higher percentage of infected persons than the mortality rate is inflated by vulnerability factors for the percentage that ultimately succumbs. This is not just 2-3% of those infected dropping dead on the street outside the context of complex care. I believe the hospital admission rate is about 20%, way way higher than typical non-pandemic flu seasons. Pre Covid-19 ICU/ventilator expenditures already account for greater than 10% of total health care costs. If the level of virulence persists and prevalence escalates, one may not be overestimating worry about capacity in terms of high quality pull-out-the-stops intervention. The figures are still too early for predicting risk factors for death and even earlier for predicting patient variables related to ICU requirements. It is simplistic to think in age terms in relation to care needs. In seasonal flu research, the probability of ICU admission and mechanical ventilation necessity is not very different comparing children, elderly, and adults as a whole.

First (flagged) case, São Paulo, a man in early 60’s who had travelled in Italy. Inevitable, I suppose.

I discovered it a year or so ago and also particularly like him singing Miserere Mei, Deus with an ensemble of adults (YouTube). Age 17 in 2 months, now baritone.

Arrangements are now being made to evacuate and quarantine at least some of the requesters.

Today it is reported that Bolsonaro will not commit to evacuating about 40 nationals from China, citing undeveloped/unclear quarantine legislation in Brazil.

Leave it to a Brazilian stripper expat in China to ‘micro-influence’ designer face mask uptake, but someone should alert him about spreading trace elements of fecal matter on its surface ...

Remember that progression globally went from 45 to over 10,000 reported cases in the past two weeks even with emerging vector control measures. Thailand’s current baseline is almost half the baseline n=45. Watch it closely over the next two weeks prior to departure, and gauge projected progression over your duration of time there. The exponential factor increases with time. For me, apart from the health risk would be the complexities of travel medical insurance and health care costs. I would certainly want to know my insurer’s position ... it may not be Valentine-grade.

Here is an example of predicted model progression that emerges from epidemiology. If the model reasonably approximates exponential progression based on recent tallies, the forecast is certainly startling, particularly since there are concerns about underreporting. Today’s tally (12,000) falls short of the assumption, but is still worrisome. Sorry the image is not crisper ... you can always search the domain.
