Covid-19 Pandemic To Crash Sex Worker Income

The world has already transitioned into panic about Covid-19. Widespread social, political, and economic disruptions have developed. Hard-hit countries, as we noted last week, have responded with a similar blueprint of shutting down their economies for virus containment purposes.

Social distancing has been one of the most widely enforced policies by governments, imposed on their citizens to mitigate the spread of the highly contagious disease. As a result, sex workers in many countries have seen their incomes crash as clients abide by the new public health policies, reported Vice News.

Let's first start with defining social distancing. It's a public health practice that aims to reduce disease transmission, including canceling large public gatherings, closing public spaces, working from home, and avoiding other people. The purpose is to slow down the outbreak to reduce the rate of infections and to reduce overwhelming the health care system.

Sex workers, many of which depend on the intimate physical interaction of their clients to get paid, are warning that social distancing could leave them penniless in the near term:

"A lot of sex workers are freaking out right now," said Andrea Werhun, 30, a stripper based in Toronto.

Multiple sex workers told VICE their clientele volumes at clubs had seen a notable drop since social distancing policies have been implemented across North America.

"I feel like my career as a dancer is in jeopardy as it becomes increasingly less viable to hang out in crowds, which is kind of what I do every Friday and Saturday night in order to make money," Werhun said.

Werhun said businessmen are a considerable part of her client book. Still, since corporations have told employees to work remotely and restrict travel – this has led to the decline in her business. She said strippers don't have the luxury of a salary or sick days:

Werhun has thought about diversifying to live streaming performances at home if a nationwide lockdown was seen.

She has yet to screen clients who could be carriers of the disease. Community spreading has already taken place in major metro areas in North America; the true extent of the spread is still unknown as test kits lack.

Amanda Winters, 27, a stripper based in Miami, told VICE she started stripping to pay off student loans, and now she's struggling to make ends meet as clients avoid clubs out of fear, they might contract the virus.

"It's a big, big blow," she said. "Locals and regulars are keeping sex workers afloat right now."

"I am getting more concerned about my financial situation," Winters said. "On a stable schedule, I often would have two to four good clients a night...the past week—going on two now—I have had one full client."

Winters said if the business at the Miami club remains low – she might be forced to live stream at home.

Taylor Stevens, 29, a diversified stripper bouncing between Toronto and Las Vegas, has live stream shows that are doing well. She said in recent weeks, traffic volume from Italy was off the charts:

Mayor In Illinois Adds Ban Of Firearms And Ammunition To Coronavirus Emergency Executive Order

The mayor of Champaign, Illinois has issued an executive order in response to the coronavirus that could potentially ban the sale of firearms and ammunition, Edgar County Watchdogs reported.

Mayor Deborah Frank Feinen’s declaration of emergency came on Friday and is related to the coronavirus, which has caused many states to declare emergencies as the virus continues to spread. The mayor’s executive order gives Frank Feinen “extraordinary powers,” including the ban of the sale of firearms and ammunition, among others restrictions including a ban on the sale of alcohol, and the sale or giving away of gasoline or other liquid flammable or combustible products, according to Edgar County Watchdogs, a local government accountability nonprofit.

“The executive order allows the city to be flexible to properly respond to the emergency needs of our community,” Jeff Hamilton, the city’s manager, told WAND 17. “None of the options will necessarily be implemented but are available in order to protect the welfare and safety of our community if needed.”

The local emergency will be in effect for 28 days, the city council unanimously decided in a Friday morning meeting according to WCIA TV. Some regulations included in the ordinance will be immediately useful, but others won’t be necessary unless...

Michigan Firearm Maker Awards Special “AR-14” to Auto Worker Who Challenged Biden on 2A

This past Tuesday Jerry Wayne was thrust into national politics. On that day he and the other union autoworkers at the Fiat Chrysler plant in Detroit, Michigan welcomed former Vice President and current Democrat Party nominee front runner Joe Biden to their new facility.

During Biden’s tour of the new plant Mr. Wayne took his chance and asked the former Vice President a question about his Second Amendment policy, “Why are you actively trying to end our Second Amendment rights and take away our guns?”

Instead of remaining calm and answering the question, Mr. Biden pushed aside his female aide and stuck his finger into the chest of the concerned autoworker and went into raged filled response;

“You don’t need an AR-14”

“Stop being a horse’s ass”

Instead of backing down from the threats, Jerry Wayne stood his ground for his conviction on the Second Amendment.

The video of the exchange went viral.

Mr. Wayne’s courage caught the eye of a local firearm manufacturer in Michigan call Next Level Armament and they decided to award the autoworker with a very special edition AR-15 model “AR-14” for his convictions.

In the announcement for the award Next Level Armament released this statement on their Facebook page, “When a patriot stands up for the 2A community it is a great thing, especially when he’s from the great state of Michigan. But when Jerry Wayne got up in Joe Biden’s feels, we decided we needed to get him taken care of. Next Level Armament AR-14 edition AR-15.”

Mr. Wayne’s new AR-15 has “AR-14” inscribed on the side of the it along with a...

On Saturday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “AM Joy,” New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio (D) stated that the coronavirus outbreak is a case for “a nationalization of crucial factories and industries that could produce the medical supplies to prepare this country for what we need.”

De Blasio said, “This is a war-like situation. We’re in a wartime scenario with a Mar-a-Lago attitude being used by the federal government, right? It’s so laid back, and I don’t understand it. And by the way, testing, how about ventilators? Where is the federal government making sure that our hospitals have the ventilators we’re going to need? Where is the federal government when it comes to surgical masks, getting them distributed where they need? This is a case for a nationalization, literally a nationalization of crucial factories and industries that could produce the medical supplies to prepare this country for what we need. Hand sanitizer, people are going crazy, I don’t blame them, trying to get hand sanitizer.”

He added, “There should be a national approach to ensuring max — every factory that can make hand sanitizer should be on 24/7 shifts and the distribution should be...
