    Here’s what we know so far regarding what precautions can be taken and how this coronavirus is affecting our community

Heading

  • As news of the latest coronavirus has been quickly developing over the past few weeks and days, party hosts, venues, and those who attend them have been having to make some tough choices as to how to respond. Hosts and venues have been taking extra precautions to protect their guests, including some postponing their events indefinitely. 

    Here at WGP our goal has always been to provide as much info as we have and let our visitors and members know where you can go for more info so that you can make informed decisions yourself on what events to attend or not attend, or in this case what actions to take based on your own situation. 


    We’ve been spending the past week or so speaking with event hosts and gathering information and have compiled what we have so far together in this blog post. We will continue to update it as we get more information. 


    Here is what we know so far…


    The first point we would like to stress and that we hope everyone will keep in mind is not only how much your actions and the precautions you may or may not take may affect you but also the people around you. From what is known of the virus so far, it affects mostly people over the age of 60 and most of the people who visit our site and attend parties in general tend to be much younger than that, so it’s easy for people to say “eh, even if I do get it, it won’t be much worse than getting the flu.” But keep in mind that even if you yourself may not get very sick from it, you could then be passing it on to other people who in turn will be passing it on to other people and some of those people may get very sick or even die from the virus, and that someone may very well even be someone near and dear to your heart, so if you do attend a party (or any place with people in close proximity to each other) we urge you to take the following precautions:


    When you arrive, head straight for a washbasin and thoroughly wash your hands with soap and HOT water for at least 20 seconds (the time it takes to sing “Happy Birthday” twice) to get rid of any bugaboos you might have picked up on the way to the party so you don’t pass it around the crowd


    Wash them AGAIN throughout the night between interactions and then AGAIN before you leave so you don’t pass on any bugaboos you might have gotten from the crowd when you go back out into the world. If HOT water is not available, ask for hand sanitizer that is at least 60% alcohol. Most party hosts provide hand sanitizer at their parties. If you don’t know if they do, contact them ahead of time to find out. Some party hosts have already started insisting that their guests take these steps when they arrive and don’t allow them into the play space until they do. We encourage all party hosts and venues to do the same.


    If you currently have or have had any cold or flu like symptoms in the past 30 days, don’t go out! Many hosts are now screening their guests and are not allowing those in who have any cold or flu like symptoms, but if you’ve had them in the past 30 days but don’t have them now, you still may be contagious, if not with COVID-19 then, well, with SOMETHING so please do the right thing and just stay at home and jackoff to some group sex porn for a few weeks.


    Follow the advice of local health officials.

    Finally…


    We understand that a situation like this can generate a lot of passionate feelings and responses from “Shut everything down” to “We need to continue to live our lives” and everything in between. We created this site to be a platform for members of our community to not only come for and share information, but also share your own feelings, views, and opinions on parties and anything that might affect our community to help inform others and guide them in their decisions. I encourage our members to use our forum and blog pages to voice any thoughts and share info that you may have about the COVID-19 situation and how it is affecting your local community and/or our community as a whole. We just ask, as always, that you remain civil with each other, respect opinions and views different from your own, and adhere to our Terms of Service in how you respond to each other. 


    Also if you are a party host or have any information on steps that are being taken at parties that are not yet listed on this page, please contact us and let us know so that we can share it with others in this blog entry. We will be updating this entry with further information as we receive it. 


    We wish you all careful and compassionate thoughts, constructive dialogue, informed choices, and...oh yeah...wash your damn hands!
