do we need to touch people at all in greeting.
better to stand back a bit and wave.
how does elbow bumping figure with advice to sneeze/cough into elbows, rather than potentially over other people.
guess its less likely to survive on fabric than hard surfaces, but still, why touch at all, in any way, why come that close.
can greet, wave, talk from 6 feet distance.
re going to thailand, there is a lot of risk in doing that.
and moreso for relatives in italy.
what about if you get caught up in quarantine situation while abroad, may not be able to return as/ when planned.
and thats just logistics, not medical risk.
the more travel, the more risk i think, esp if airports are involved. i certainly would not go abroad to see any vulnerable people.
everyone has to made their own best informed decision, as with any moral question.
