@mariner4life True, and Covid won't.
I understand the sentiment though. There are just too many people. Maybe the Chinese can come up with something better?
If them and the Indians keep beating each other to death, perhaps a third of the problem will take care of itself?
that little fight is only going to end one way if they really got serious.

It ended badly for the Indians the last time.

I've read that story. It's pretty funny actually.

Will Covid finally be the death of the kiss greeting?
I fucking HATE the kiss greeting. It's awkward, you are never sure when it's appropriate. SOme people over do it. Fuck it off

Fuck yeah - that is one hell of a silver lining.
In fact, I've found this virus thing in general has brought society's norms down to my personal desired level of social interaction. -

That's easy; when they're attractive.

Amen. The cheek, two or one, depends where you are from. Some people go the whole three. Haven't had anyone dive in for a snog recently which is good.
I'm happy to do away with handshakes too. I don't need to touch you, I can see you. You just said hello, I heard it, I know you are there, don't bloody push the point.

2M is fine by me unless you are actually shagging. I can't quite reach otherwise.

after reading the Rugby Finances, it amazes me just how we have screwed up the livelihoods of 10s of millions of people to save the lives of a couple of hundred thousand.

@Snowy given the reason for handshakes was supposedly to show you werent carrying a weapon (given everyone is right handed...) would seem it is no longer required, well, except places like Iraq, Afghanistan, Alaska etc

I should have added "or shoot me" to the end of my comments. Actually quite a few places that might still require it but with the number of lefties it actually would have to be both hands, and then somebody drops a beer and all hell breaks loose.

I'm a compulsive handshaker.
I had a couple of business meetings just as this was all kicking off, and they were with people i had never met. As we had already moved away from handshakes, it was sort of weird, no one really knew how to end the meeting. It usually ended up with the host awkwardly looking at their watch, and saying the needed to be somewhere else, and walking off.

I just air fist bump everyone these days. Although, you kind of have to say it as you do it if you don't know the person.

I just turn around and yell into the closest wall "NO I DON'T HAVE YOUR FUCKING CHILDREN" and hey presto, turn back around and everyone is gone.
why are you lying to the wall?

Oh god yes. We have a lot of family gatherings and my wife’s family is massive. Takes 10-15 mins to leave.

@mariner4life I'm an advocate for the handshake. Tells you heaps about the bloke in front of you.
The Thais and Buddhists have the best post COVID greeting gesture🙏
