Does swine flu mean the end of the handshake?

Since the arrival of the swine flu/H1N1, have you stopped shaking hands when you greet people?

I haven't.

There is an article in today's Toronto Star about it.

First, I haven't stopped hand shaking. Not that I've been doing a lot of hand shaking, but I feel there's a little hysteria over this.

Second, if I do stop, and I don't do the fist-to-fist, I will definetely be doing the Vulcan Salute!!!

Live Long and Prosper

I dislike handshaking! If I have to do it I will wash my hands as soon as possible.

Thanks for the visit to Puerto Rico! Sorry it took me so long to follow up. YOu have a seasonal theme going here! When it's cold, shaking hands would be just fine...you are wearing gloves. I like Spocks idea...I guess that's why he is a doctor!
