Re: Is the coronavirus outbreak affecting session wrestling?
Who knows? No one is the answer, it’s a moving target & very psychological. Travel plans likely to be negatively affected

Re: Is the coronavirus outbreak affecting session wrestling?
As I have some older family members I deeply care about, I have been following developments in the past weeks closely. I read or watch interviews and articles from the top epidemiologists, virologists, NOT politicians.
A lot of our session fans are older. I will not hold it against anyone if they decide to cancel their planned visit. In fact, we may even postpone (some or all, TBD) sessions in the following months, as things are about to get a lot worse in EU and US. The exponential growth of new cases seen in multiple EU countries and US is quite concerning if not outright catastrophic, imo. My heart goes out to our Italian fans. Stay strong! France, Spain, Germany, and others seem to be headed the same course. We might follow as well. For us, when I speak with our girls, we’ll have to judge each session request based on one’s country of origin and other things, right now. I read on social media some session girls doubting to accommodate Asian fans. Frankly, I’d rather see a fan from Taiwan, Singapore or Hongkong right now than ones from our more typical countries who are not taking the radical measures as seen in those Asian countries. Last week, we had fans from Germany, France, UK, and Croatia. All girls agreed to session with all.. but this might change if things keep escalating rapidly as they are. Expect quarantines and travel restrictions to also increase; so even without concern for your own health, you should think twice about planning your sessions. That also goes for travelling session girls, not just the sessions fans coming over. Sessioning will become more risky business this year. At very least, get one of those contactless infrared thermometers, and do not step on the mats with a person who has a fever. Session girls travelling all over the continent should get tested (even when asymptomatic, imo). Ask yourself.. Do you wanna be responsible for spreading it all over? Some people can die as a result. Testing availability currently varies greatly with each country, however (here’s it’s about 50 Euros at a private clinic at your own request; only free at the national labs if you have the right symptoms and other factors). I’m adjusting some of my daily life and routine already to at least lower my exposure (no panic though, calmly), even though, ultimately, majority of EU/US population are bound to get this virus anyway, imo, sooner or later. To not overwhelm hospitals, though, as it happened in Wuhan, as it happens now in Italy, and as it will happen in more countries, we should all work together to hopefully slow down the epidemic curve. Time will tell, but watching the movies should be your priority over wrestling sessions for this year. My 2¢

Re: Is the coronavirus outbreak affecting session wrestling?
Trips from Europe to the US have been banned, Tom Hanks tested positive for Coronavirus and the NBA has suspended the season thanks to the Coronavirus... I hate to say this, but travel may get more and more difficult to do. Time for virtual reality sessions where you have a device that is wrapped around your neck and the session wrestlers uses a type of Thighmaster and squeezes it so you can feel the pressure of her legs.

The session industry will hurt a lot. I hope the girls are fine with the reduced income for a while because this is another case of "go to work and risk getting very sick or stay home and possibly lose your job," but with a different dimension to it. NBA season is suspended, March Madness may be suspended, but at least has no fans there, many states and countries have declared a state of emergency, many fortune 500 companies are 100% work-from-home now, no travel from Europe to US. On top of that, the stock market is tanking. Down 20% over the past 3 weeks. People are going to panic sell everything and lose a lot of money long-term (including people who thought they were retired), many of the guys won't have the extra money to do sessions, this is our next recession. This is not a forum for economics or politics, but this is a serious situation. Sadly, many of the average folks I know in my city (in a state that has declared emergency) still think "ehh, it's like the flu, not a big deal, life goes on." But their tone is quite a bit more serious today than yesterday (not a metaphor). Daily life is changing. I hope everyone stays safe and doesn't spread the virus further. |

I usually gets clients in April-May from Europe, we were already in plans to meet but things may change now, specially with the travel ban. Also was sad to learn today IBJJF Pan Ams was cancelled. I have been training and was ready to take another Gold. Oh well, it is for the greater good and hopefully everything will be normal again soon. (Just came back from the market and the shelves are starting to look empty... Last edited by Anji; 06-Jan-24 at 23:11. |

Re: Is the coronavirus outbreak affecting session wrestling?
In Spain a week ago we were saying the same "its a flu". The Real problem is not the mortality but the collapse of hospitales. If a lot of people get infected at the same time there is not enough capacity in the healthcare system to attend everyone and thats what is dangerous

Re: Is the coronavirus outbreak affecting session wrestling?
I just cancelled a trip to the east coast to visit my elderly mother on HER request!! That's probably a good thing. Peace of mind for her of not having someone go through airplanes and airports and then hugging her.
I wonder if session women are: 1) irritated at COVID-19 related cancellations or 2) feeling pretty leary themselves and tempted to lay low for a while. Last edited by rennurliart; 12-Mar-20 at 12:06. Reason: I can't type |

And also, "I get it - people want to be cautious". Quote:
It's pretty amazing how the (public) profile of this virus has evolved over the past 2-3 weeks. Most people in the U.S. are not equipped for missing out on 2 weeks of a regular paycheck. Session work for the average provider may not be as steady an income stream as a corporate office job, but they're in the same boat with respect to missing out on gigs.

Re: Is the coronavirus outbreak affecting session wrestling?
My gut tells me this will be crushing for wrestling sessions. Watching what is going on in Italy , if that happens in the U.S. watch out.
