Fauci: I don't think we should shake hands 'ever again'
The Hill ^ | 04 08 2020 | Marty Johnson

Posted on 04/08/2020 5:16:45 PM PDT by yesthatjallen

Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergies and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) and key member of the White House coronavirus task force, on Wednesday suggested that Americans should never shake hands again.

"When you gradually come back, you don't jump into it with both feet. You say what are the things you could still do and still approach normal. One of them is absolute compulsive hand washing. The other is you don't ever shake anybody's hands," Fauci told The Wall Street Journal's podcast.

"I don't think we should ever shake hands ever again, to be honest with you. Not only would it be good to prevent coronavirus disease, it probably would decrease instances of influenza dramatically in this country," the doctor added.

“With Fauci? I’d rather stick 10 bratwursts around my neck and play fetch with 5 pit bulls..”

Trump seems to not have this view. I trust Trump. You seem not to value Trump’s judgement.

I am going to jump into her with both feet!

And Fauci can’t even BEGIN to stop me.

Shaking hands? Heck, Biden will no doubt find Social Distancing particularly difficult

Dr. ‘Doom’ Fauci is past his sell-by-date. He needs to be gone yesterday.

Everyone should of course know that Fauci will get the Nobel and Man of the Year next.
Maybe he will take the Dem nomination when Biden strokes out.

And we should never attend concerts again
And we should never attend a sporting event again
And we should never participate in any group activities of any kind again
And we should never hug our children and grandchildren again

Anything else, you disgusting, miserable little hobbit?

He wants everyone to bow.

Yeah, that's what I believe we will be told should be the alternative.

I think I'm turning Japanese.

I’m sure he’s a bad handshaker. You know the type.

Well since 50% of men and 25% of men
don’t wash after toileting of course
hand sanitizer or washing afterwards is important

It’s a custom that was meant to confirm trust
it shouldn’t go away because of the malevolence
of China. Better China disappears into its own
sh1tholedom.
