I am medically handicapped. My desire to not shake hands is not specific to the pandemic.
I don't really think the pandemic will end without social norms changing. Handshakes are a social norm that spreads germs. I think we would do well to move to something else. In many cultures they bow.
So my belief is that we only get to post pandemic by doing away with things like handshakes. That's my opinion and I can't back it up with studies or anything, but your mental models and mine just don't mesh well in that regard.
You have a good day. I think you and I are likely speaking somewhat past each other and I'm not interested in engaging further in what is likely pointless miscommunication.
- stale2002 5y agoYour extreme minority disabilities seem like a pretty poor excuse to attack everyone else you are interacting with to the extreme degree you are doing. Yes, sure, people should make reasonable accommodations to help deal with your extreme minority situation. But it is a sure for you to demand that everyone else change their entire lives, and perfectly reasonable preferences, to satisfy only you.
