What will be your alternative method of not handshaking?

 

Fauci says people should 'just forget about shaking hands' even after the coronavirus threat is over

 

To help I have provided what other counties do and my suggestion.

Stick out your tongue ( Wow)
Tibet

Bump noses  ( Not Good)
Qatar, Yemen, Oman, United Arab Emirates

Air kiss on the cheek  (Not Good)
France, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Latin America, Ukraine, and Québec, Canada

Blowing a Kiss   (Could be trouble)

Rub noses (and sometimes foreheads) Not Good
New Zealand

Shake hands both hands (No off limits)
Botswana, China, Germany, Zambia

Clap your hands  (Could work)
Zimbabwe

Put your hand on your heart  (Nice Idea)
Malaysia Mozambique Rwanda

Bow  (Ok I’m not crazy about this)
Cambodia, India, Nepal, Laos, Thailand

Sniff faces  (Hard Pass)
Greenland and Tuvalu (Oceania)

Fist Bump  (Still that touching thing)

Old Indian How Sign (Could work liking this)

Power Fist Sign   (Ok but not great)

Give the Finger  (Popular but not in every situation)

Give some of your ideas bee creative….

I was going to go with gabbing each other privates ... but the potential of transmitting other things is too great and depending on who doing the grabbing my gun could go off...:)

Speaking of which, last night we're in Walmart and these two younger girls are pushing a cart, wearing their masks, and one has the cart up against the pop shelves and the other is standing in the middle of the aisle, about 4 feet away and my girlfriend comes walking down the aisle (I'm at the other end) to meet up with me, walks around this girl (to avoid being close to her) blocking the middle of the aisle, says "excuse me" (politely) to which the girl blocking the aisle screams "SIX FEET, SIX FEET" to which my girlfriend says "I have no problem with a six foot distance but stop blocking the fucking aisle."

Old lady with a mask yesterday at the local grocery kept warning everyone that they were only allowed to have one person per shopping cart, per the signs and was getting infuriated.
