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.

I don’t think I’ll ever shake hands with Fauci. If I’m at a distance, I might flip him off.

Is Fauci married?

He has a wife and three adult daughters.

You mean the type where you grasp his hand and it feels like a dead fish? Yeah, I’ve known those.

I agree with Dr. Fauci.

We should greet with tongue kisses.

Your shaking hands with hundreds of strangers every time you open the door to a building open to the public. Grab the door handle and presto.

He played the race card this afternoon. Trump needs to ditch him NOW.

Common sense tells me that shaking hands and sharing spit (kissing) and other touchy feely gestures create herd immunity, without which we'd likely all be dead.

Similarly, all these sanitizing products--which I refuse to use--kill most germs. Most, not all. The strong strains survive and live on and strengthen and will eventually kill us.

That's why anti-biotics have become increasingly less effective. ( I don't ask for those either, unless it's life or death)

The WuFlu isn't the big killer, but we're creating one. And only a few of us will survive.

If shaking hands is risky, what does he recommend for the continued procreation of the human species? This guy is a total fruitcake.

Trump got hoodwinked again.

I’ve suggested several times to President Trump that he send this jackass back to the laboratory.

Scientists - and the guy is sort of a scientist, though not exactly - like to say things like that.

India wants to bring back the "namaste."

I guess we all give up sex too. Even more transfer of GERMS.
Singing is probably out too since virus laden droplets travel farther when we sing.
