I have no doubts the OP isn't alone in receiving such texts. Ironically these SPs aren't as safety conscious as we like to believe. Many regular providers and agencies we see mentioned frequently on Perb like Laura, Yumikolove, korean604, Asianfever and more are still advertising on LeoList. I believe they're just playing a statistical numbers game and have been told the risk is very low much like the COVIDIOTS and VIRUS REBELS we have been hearing about are believing. Should the city or province be forced into mandatory isolation, God only knows how they'll react.
It's very interesting to see the difference between agencies, micros, and handlers. Handlers like AF, yumikolove, honeybb, maymaylove, etc. should have relatively low overhead since their expenses lie almost completely in just advertising and recruiting (nothing to recruit now). They only advert for girls that still want to work but you can see that drastically falling. Granted, AF spends more than the other handlers so their situation could be a little different, yet they don't have nearly the expenses of micros. They obviously don't carry any liability should someone get sick from seeing one of their girls, so for them their only current expense is paying the phone person... low overhead for what they make. Micros, on the other hand, take a HUGE hit. They're almost certainly losing money right now and have to stay open to minimize the damage. The funny thing is, Korean604 and LFL made big expansions roughly 2-3 years ago, akin to corporations preferring growth over margins, but now they're left without a buffer for their expenses.
As far as agencies go, I'd say it depends on their branding. If they have a lot to lose, it's obvious they should shut down. If you have a agency that operates more like a micro (ie. Nguyens) then it really comes down to whether or not the girl wants to work.
I personally would like to see the Ad/Review/411 section of the forums temporarily shut down for new posts. But then again PERB is a business too...
Sooner or later an SP will catch the virus and pass it on to a customer and so on. People who continue to visit SP’s are displaying what I would call an extreme amount of stupidity.
I'm 98% sure this has already happened. Of course you will never find out on Perb... so you will pretty much never hear about it.
