They never found a vaccine for SARS, you will be on ice until there is herd immunity.
Do you think agency rate will drop post covid19?

There are people that have lost their jobs, there are people who have not worked for a while and will get lower supplementary pay from the government. There are those that have suffered the effect of the shut down but still can afford entertainment and luxuries in all forms including the hobby. To say that things will return to normal soon is wishful thinking. Then there is the looming recession, the one that comes in a 8-9 year economic cycle. It is not if, but when it will come. This current shut down of the economy will be sure to not only deepen but also lengthen the recession. People will be less likely to travel there will be less tourist everywhere. There will be effects from covid-19, the coming recession, and the results of the US presidential elections may have devastating consequences.
I think the exact opposite. So many horny guys who havent gotten laid in months will make such a mad dash for the nearest incall, it'll make your head spin
I doubt agency own their apartments as the risk of seizure is present. Most likely that rent them, so, increasing capacity is pretty easy. Real estate cost (rent) is what prevents agency from dropping their portion of the fee, but the girls will be happy to work for less. Also, given a decrease in demand in and increase in supply, the total number of escort-hours will actually drop along with prices (do not confuse the "supply" and "equilibrium quantity supplied").
It all depends on demand/supply dynamics that we can't predict.
But according to this article, prostitutes got paid $2.15 for 15 minutes during the Great Depression: https://prostinfo.weebly.com/the-great-depression.html
That's like paying $31.43 for 15 minutes today or $62.86/hh That's a steal!

They will drop.
For the very simple very frightening reason that the economy is heading for a depression, never mind a recession.
People are thinking this is a blip, or that we will have a V shaped recovery. It's not and we won't. This going to be bad I fear. The economy does not turn on a dime and no-one knows how long this lasts. One one hand you hear one group saying to reopen the economy in May (like it's some sort of department store) and on the other hand you're now starting to hear that until we come up with a vaccine, this ain't over. And a vaccine takes usually 3 years. Best case scenario 18 months.
How do you bounce back from that?
In tough economic times you forgo the vacations and the luxury. While for some the hobby may be like heroin, for the majority, it's a luxury and not a necessity.
In addition, I suspect that there will be more than a few mongers who take advantage of this forced sobriety to finally walk away from the addiction.

I wonder if this was because the risk from SARS dropped and few researchers committed time and resources. COVID-19 seems to be having a far, far greater and extended impact. It now seems like the whole world is working on a vaccine.
I completely understand the herd immunity concept, but so much of the world seems to be trying to run and hide from the virus. I'm not sure how civilization develops herd immunity.
I'm in basic agreement.
A lot of people hurting for money (no, the economy won't bounce right back!)
So - cash-strapped buyers, motivated sellers (possibly including a number of new providers who can't find other jobs, or need to augment marginal incomes?) - suggests lower rates to me.
And that's if we get a very effective vaccine! If a less effective vaccine and covid becomes endemic?
Hope I'm wrong. There are some lovely friends I want to see at a very social distance!
I suspect we may see a greater influx of ladies to the industry due to the resultant economic instability in this country as a whole.
+1 More free of job girls will come to this business, less money on the market.
Actually, it is a fair wage for no-education hard work. If prostitution was legal and not stigmatised, this what the rates would be since it beats working at Walmart. The only reason rates are high is because of stigma: not many young women are willing to do to it because the society (and themselves) consider SWing as something "bad" and not all men are willing to consider SW of their girlfriends/spouses as a normal work.
I'm not sure I know any society that doesn't stigmatize it. Even in countries where the rates are very low and many women accessible, the hottest girls know how to come out ahead.
I don't disagree with you. Just making some observations.
I'm making observations as to your observations, and I have to say that your observations are very observive
well...
we are only 3 weeks into crisis, 5 millions of Canadian are without job, mostly in service sector. If the state of emerg continues.
This is going to be a major boom for hobbyisits. There are going to be so many university students looking for additional cash. The service industry is going to be wiped out in the short term which means there will be a lot of sugar babies. Based on the macroeconomic, I predict it will be a Hobbyists market with a ton of new talent at the agencies.
