      I liked people pointing out handshakes wouldn't be one of the main ways germs spread if we all used sanitizer before and/or after shaking hands but obviously no one does this In fact the "friendliness" conveyed by shaking hands is immediately undermined by doing thathttps://twitter.com/BootlegGirl/status/1246681941102952448 …

      We don't consciously think about it but the whole unconscious meaning of a handshake is "You're family, I accept you, I'm cool with touching you because I trust you won't give me a disease" Which is a great sentiment except it's false

          The problem is, I could take or leave handshakes, but I miss hugging close friends. I'll be kind of sad if that dies, too.

          I think it's fine if we go back to friendly touch among people you actually do know and trust after the crisis is over It's the mandatory physical contact with random strangers in a "polite" setting that's the issue

          And shaking dislodges any dagger. Salutes show your face, when a visored plate helm became common the nobles held them up. A tip: get your thumb webbing and someone else's pressed together in handshakes, it takes ten times the grip strength to squeeze too hard in that position.

          It was also to show that you weren't concealing a weapon.

          Isn't the conventional wisdom that it's more about "you're a stranger and I'm showing you that I don't have any weapons concealed and ready to strike"? There was a whole scene in Contagion about how the reality of the virus made that subtext fatally ironic.
