An American pornographic actress and former Hollywood actress Maitland Ward in her interview to the Daily Beast tells that the porn industry might be uniquely prepared to maintain movie production during Coronavirus pandemic:
“The adult industry is inherently good at taking precautions and relying on health screening — of course, it’s primarily STD screenings demanded by law every 14 days, but nevertheless, we deal with things like cutting the risk of potential outbreaks or infections as a way of life, so, as an industry, we may be better equipped to take swift action and alert performers of outbreaks.”
Australian pornstar and movie director Angela White, aka the Meryl Streep of Porn (she won the porn Oscar for Female Performer of the Year three times in a row), is concerned about fellow pornactors losing their only source of income.
“While we are monitoring public health departments, we do not believe that a mandatory production hold is warranted at this time. We are wary of cutting off performers’ ability to generate income by prematurely restricting their ability to work while the risk is low—especially with the potential for a longer and larger business shutdown looming… We are asking that performers and producers who continue to shoot be incredibly vigilant and take common-sense precautions, including educating performers and crew about prevention, limiting the size of sets, and discontinuing air travel whenever possible.”
