Really, care to share any examples? Is California on the no-fly list? The HIMSS protocol is basically PR B.S. with a bunch of half measures like: - “Attendees should not travel to HIMSS20 if they are feeling unwell.” - “HIMSS is providing guidelines and updates to conference attendee hotels on healthy procedures and tips.” - “HIMSS20 will be a handshake-free meeting. We recommend the HIMSS elbow tap.” - “There will be an increased number of hand sanitation sites available“ https://www.himssconference.org/updates/himss-update-coronavirus https://www.himssconference.org/updates/himss-update-coronav...

  Badges should indicate whether you're an elbow sneezer or a hand sneezer, so that mutually compatible people can elbow tap or hand shake as appropriate.

    Japanese bow, Indian Namaste, Roman Salute, my preference is Fist-Bump that at the end transforms into a friendly game of rock-paper-scissors (which is universally[1] understood).

      The Roman salute was co-opted by right wingers a while back. Probably not the best of your suggestions.

        I wasn't aware. fwiw maybe the public could hi-jack it back from the right. better than letting them keep it?

        Did you never learn about WWII? Not sure there is a campaign effective enough to overwrite the association with Hitler.

  You sneeze into the inside of your elbow and shake with the outside. Elbows are likely clothed and it takes a contortion to touch the outside of your elbow to your face.
