With the appearance of extremely contagious covid variants coupled with the declining effectiveness of vaccines, it is becoming riskier to have close contact with someone else. Fortunately, we have a tool that is becoming more popular: rapid tests. These tests can be done at home and give results in 15 minutes. Some indy SPs will likely test their clients when they show up. I have thought about using them in the context of meeting an SP (outcall) by testing her when she arrives. However, I see some problems with that:
1) There could be transmission during the testing period (15 min) if she is positive. Masks should be worn and distancing maintained, which can be awkward.
2) If she tests positive, the issues of payment for her time and dealing with the agency arise. One would have to let her or the agency know in advance that proceeding with the meeting would be contingent upon a negative rapid covid test, which I doubt would be agreed to in the case of an agency.
Ultimately, I don't see this working very well, unless it's with someone you already have a close relationship with (indy SP). Anyone thought about that or has suggestions?
