Are they still making movies and TV shows now?
Social distancing must be making that impossible, it seems to me. Saturday Night Live is shooting "SNL At Home" shows. Movies that were already made but not yet released are being held now because people can't get together in movie theaters to watch them. And of course, actors and directors and film crews can't safely get together to film (video?) them. (Side question: Do they still film them, or do they shoot them on videotape or videodisc or some other medium?)
Some people are now predicting that we might have to continue social distancing for as much as two more years. Please God, don't let that happen. But if that happens, I have a feeling that we're going to be watching all the same movies and TV shows for those two years. We'll only have the ones that were already filmed (video'd? shot?) before all of this started happening.

They don't expect to be able to go back until August or September 
Here's my post about its a few weeks back

They don't expect to start back at production until at least August (give or take for the second wave).

Getting up and running again in this brave new world is going to be very difficult to navigate. For one thing, insurers are unlikely to cover productions for COVID-19 cases when business resumes, according to multiple sources in the know. Producers all over filed multimillion-dollar claims triggered when civil authorities — governments — prevented filming from continuing and forcing production shutdowns. When the business starts up, that will now be considered an identified risk, and insurers will not cover it, sources said, just as CDC is warning of a second coronavirus wave.
What does that mean? Most likely, everyone on a film or TV production will be required to sign a rider, similar to ones they sign covering behavior codes in areas like sexual harassment, to indemnify the productions. “You acknowledge you are going into a high-density area, and while we will do our best effort to protect you, nothing is failsafe and if you contract COVID-19, we are not liable,” said a source involved drawing up these guidelines. “There is no other way we can think of to address this. If you don’t want to sign, don’t take the job.”
There will be no ideal way to ensure a completely safe set, but this is what might happen right away. Everyone will be tested before they are allowed onto a set. While not as accurate as traditional swab tests that take days to process, rapid antigen tests are the best possible option as they provide results within 15-20 minutes. Their daily use on sets is predicated on the availability of testing kits without taking them away from first responders and hospitals. Additionally, productions are expected to employ, when possible, antibody tests that detect immunity if a person had already had the virus.
