So the traditional handshake needs to go. In bacterial terms, it is an obscene transfer of germs and infection that has to be stopped. So what should replace this age old social convention?

A quick thrust of the hips in the direction of the other person. No contact, but signals a level of respect. I've been doing it for years.

A raised hand in greeting. Generally, I can't be bothered to lift all my fingers; one is normally all I can run to.

I can see multiple law suits and sexual assault cases arising out of that one. I'm picturing Lord Flashheart...

Simply not true. Hygiene expert on R4 this morning said as long as you wash your hands regularly it’s no risk.
To be honest, it was a tonic to hear some sensible advice without all the hysteria and talk of shutting cities down.
Wash your hands, cover your mouth when you sneeze or cough, keep clean, use anti bac. No need to panic or stop touching people. Or indeed, Shaking hands.
