Are you shooting people? How are you dealing with Covid-19 issues and precautions?

I usually am shooting headshots, portraits, nudes, and some swimwear and casual fashion. I haven't done a shoot in several months because of the virus worries. Especially worrisome because some stuff like makeup, hair, and adjusting clothing is necessarily 'hands on.'
from women I've worked with, like "got any gigs for me?" But those have stopped.
So is everyone on both ends of the lens just holding off? If you're actively shooting can you share info on safety precautions or any other comments?

This is how I feel about photographing people during the virus scare.

Sooo cute! A childs school chalk board! LOL!!!
Ugh OH! VADA said she has a committee meeting she must attend, last minute thing tomorrow, Thursday. "Timmy! Can I come over for water melon, cuddles on Mr. Bubbles (The BIG garden kitty, there an item now! LOL!!!), and play in the Cedar Closet?" I suppose, I guess I have to put up with the necked girly, but wait! I found some super sexy stuff under a pile of boxes (don't ask, the place is a total disaster zone). You think I'm joking? A guy I know how uses my studio dropped off a huge heavy cardboard box a few years ago and I lost track of it (yes, chaos rains here!)...6 brand new 8 foot long window drapes, heavy shower curtain, all Scarlet in color, and a bolt of black fabric 5 feet wide and 35 feet long, the same in a medium blue and another all ready seamed medium blue that is 9 feet wide and 15 feet long, and finally a triple seamed back drop of crushed red velvet 10 by 10 feet. Oh my God! I will need to straiten up some more!
But now Kat is coming over (Saturday at 10AM, she has a paid 2 hour shoot with a photographer) to check up on me and The Bubble, smoke cigarettes and swill Shiner beer, get drunk (actually, just tipsy) and play in the Cedar Closet! She is worried about me. I freaked her out, had my tiny stroke when she was over moths ago, been mothering me ever sense. It's great to have sexy women friends!
Right before Christmas she was over, wanted to do all sorts of crazy sexy photos so I said sure, lets have fun! She totally cray-cray! I pulled out some boots, shinny gold and thigh high white boots. She went nuts! I realized she was crowing them so I told her, "You can have them!" You would think I had given her a diamond tiara! I tell you guys, the way to a woman's heart is give them shoes/boots...work every time!
Wear mask and choose appropriate lens to stay at least 6 feet away from any of them. Hary

But how do you really feel about it?
Question: The phrase “Virus scare” is interesting and interesting choice of words. So Are you saying it’s not real just something to scare people? Just curious.
Now when SHOOT for the paper I don't sweet getting the names correct as the al look the same with masks.
Makeup, hair, and often styling are all 'hands on.' In the adult genre, bondage is also 'hands on.'
Unless you use an inconvenient excessively long lens, even headshots are likely to violate the 6-foot rule of thumb. LA and NYC have many headshot specialists; I dunno what they're doing to shoot. Or if they are.
Unfortunately, the people that need to be shot,( by a military firing squad) ,are still on the loose. hint,hint.....commie progressives.
Using the same precautions as when 'Asian-Flu' was rife 1957. Keep a safe distance.
There is a studio in NY that is offering a sanitized environment. No shoes, social distance, and a mask are required at all times.

I know a adult genres couple - he’s a rigger/model, she’s a model - they work hands on together you have to stay 6’ away (your camera doesn’t have to be).
