get this and shoot everything from your balcony AND in your apartment

I have one of those.  Well technically I do, it's at Wetzlar getting serviced!  Unbelievable timing.

I have found that M Leicas and lenses are particularly well suited for pictures of people and man-made objects. Neither of these are necessarily the best subjects in this unfortunate situation. But if you have the possibility to go out in the woods, fields or to the sea shore and are allowed to do so in your country/region/city, I'm sure you will find plenty of interesting things to photograph. Just stay away from other people and be careful if you need to touch things other people may have touched recently.

If you are forced to stay indoors, you can make all sorts of more or less scientific test shots, home-made resolution tests, dof-tests etc. and you can check your rangefinder accuracy at both near and far distances. If you have more than one lens you should be occupied for quite some time. Or just do what I did last weekend: clearing up part of my backlog of images to process.

2m is the recommended distance in ISO countries. 6 feet is the recommended distance in non-ISO countries. The extra 7.5cm (3 inches, trois pouces) can make a huge difference. 

Here in rural Sussex it is unacceptably close to be within 2m. As 'Police' said years ago, "Don't stand so close to me!"

1.5m is insufficient.

For poor city dwellers, who don't live in such extensive rural regions, a distance of 1.5m must obviously be sufficient.
My ophthalmologist and even our Mrs Chancellor on TV today told me about this shorter distance.
Perhaps they forgot any blowing winds😀.
