a VOLUNTARY adult content production hold is pointless considering consistent pornographer IRRESPONSIBILITY! A MANDATORY production hold is needed in this CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC! The FREE SPEECH COALITION IS FAILING!
March 16, 2020
The Coronavirus COVID-19 PANDEMIC is not a joke, fake or conspiracy. It is REAL. As of current the Mayor of Los Angeles is doing the right thing – and professional adult industry professionals should follow his lead.
PNT commentary: As expected, the Free Speech Coalition once more has failed the individuals they claim to represent by issuing only a VOLUNTARY adult content production hold in the midst of the Coronavirus COVID-19 PANDEMIC (which has led the President of the United States to call for a National State of Emergency) rather than a MANDATORY production hold.
Keep in mind – adult content production often calls for DIRECT PERSON TO PERSON CONTACT and THE EXCHANGE OF BODILY FLUIDS… so at this stage, ANY adult content production set could essentially become a Coronavirus GROUND ZERO.
As of current it appears that Keiren Lee of Brazzers managed to recognize the importance of halting his adult content production (though it’s possible he’s unaware that the production hold is VOLUNTARY rather than MANDATORY according to his tweets)…
Having spoke to various people within the industry I have decided to halt all of my production till March 30th 😷
After this I will review situation whether to extend production halt or if its safe to resume.

Can’t believe people are bitching about @FSCArmy decision to call a halt to production 👀
Bars, restaurants and gyms etc have to close down, if we want to be taken seriously in today’s society why can’t we act like others and just be safe 🤷🏻♂️

However it doesn’t appear as though veteran porn director Mike Quasar is willing to take the initiative on his own to halt the adult content productions he directs… Mike appears willing to allow whoever his employer is to dictate what he does, rather than exercising his free will to protect both his own health and that of his peers…
Not yet but soon I expect. I have shoots scheduled for this week but at some point I may be asked to refrain.

I’d like to add that I fully respect anyone’s decision to not shoot or change their mind about shooting in the coming weeks. However, if it’s decided by those who employ me to take a break, I will obviously respect that as well. https://t.co/EEL50bs8dl

How is the Virus Spread?
According to the CDC, the virus is mainly spread person-to-person, particularly when they are within six (6) feet of each other. The primary way is when an infected person sneezes or coughs and their droplets land on a nearby person’s mouth or nose or are inhaled into their lungs.
Another way is when a person touches a surface where the virus is, then touches his or her own mouth, nose or eyes.
What are the Symptoms?
Patients typically have mild to severe respiratory symptoms, such as a cough and difficulty breathing, as well as a fever.
As with other viruses, people who are elderly and/or have underlying health conditions are more at risk.
TTS Preventive Measures, Recommendations & Outlook
- Effective Monday, March 16, we will provide hand sanitizing pens to all talent that visit our Miami, Northridge, Las Vegas and Oakland facilities. Please note that these are in limited supply.
- We strongly recommend that all talent pre-register their visit to TTS Miami, Northridge, Las Vegas and Oakland locations online via our website. This will speed up your visit at the facility and minimize exposure, if any.
- Talent that have recently traveled to countries with restrictions such as China, Hong Kong, Japan, Iran, Korea, Macau, Singapore and the E.U. agree to not engage in personal contact with other talents for at least 14 days while monitoring for symptoms from home to limit the potential spread of the virus. Please click here for an updated list of countries with restrictions.
- If you feel sick with the symptoms mentioned above or any others, do not shoot and stay home.
- If you develop symptoms during the 14-day window such as fever, cough, or difficulty breathing, please:
- Contact your agent and/or producer immediately to cancel any shoots you have scheduled.
- Seek medical care right away. Before you go to a doctor’s office or emergency room, call ahead and tell them about your recent travel and your symptoms.
- Avoid contact with others.
- Do not travel while sick. Some travel areas have implemented quarantines of those found with symptoms of illness.
- Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue (not your hands) when coughing or sneezing.
- Clean your hands frequently with alcohol sanitizer or soap with water if soiled.
