I want a world where we can shake hands again.

Total vanity, but we will get thru this.

Well, on the flip side, a world that does not shake hands, if we use the old definition of how a hand shake started, would mean we are all armed. That is a world that is preferable to me.

Me too. People barely even say hello anymore. It’s like every other person has become an object of fear. It’s crazy.

[independentmind]

It is not like that here. People seem to genuinely want to help other people.

They are keeping their distance, though. That is not a bad thing.

Well, you have changed my mind.

My ex came from the Bay Area. He was always po’ed. A friend of mine moved out there. Now she is always raging.

I’ll be telling my grandchildren what utter horse manure the coronavirus response was.

I always hated that creep “Sign of Peace” in church. So fake, the people “smiling in your face, all the time they wanna take your place, the backstabbers.........”

DH Lawrence should have said “without appearing to feel sorry for itself.” The bird could have been grieving its terrible circumstances; only the bird would know.

I had to tell my friend’s husband don’t hug me about a week ago. I hate being hugged except by the person I love and my kids. Even then it seems forced sometimes with my kids, like that is what you are supposed to do.

China needs to pay.

Some of the dolts did learn just last week, yes.

[Fury]

I don’t. Go to a public restroom and observe how many people don’t wash their hands.

This ^.

Let's face it. A lot of people are pigs. A lot.

I've always reserved shaking hands for people who I am very close to and know their habits (to the extent possible). It's caused some awkward moments, but eh, too bad.

I’ve heard pundits say that this will be the “new normal” and that we’ll never go back to where we were three months ago. I hope that’s not true. That’s what happened after 9/11 which gave us TSA groping, Patriot Act spying, and overall paranoia.

I can live without the hand shaking, but having desks and restaurant tables 6’ apart, freaking out if someone is too close in line, slathering sanitizer every 10 minutes, etc. — that’s no way to live.

You watch too many Disney movies.

Well I think you ought to run as president then. A lot of the response has been in reaction to hysteria & panic that gripped this country in particular and the world at large, thanks to the media.

Karl Stromberg preferred not to shake hands and for the most part me either.

I'm actually hoping that the handshake never comes back. I'm in the Trump camp on this one. As a businessman, I've learned to tolerate it but was never a fan. I'll miss hugging some of the women however.

Some of them.
