Handshakes and public hugs could go extinct \nafter pandemic ends, scientists warn

A greater awareness of hygiene may mean handshakes and hugs are replaced. The longer the pandemic the more likely to physical contact could be threatened. Scientists warn that this may have long-term emotional effects on young people.

Learn from East Asians. Greet others by a bow instead of handshakes or hugs.

Private hugs make the cut tho?

I'm the 1 that automatically moves back as soon as someone I Do Not Know tries to hug me.I hate it,I just met u,we just got introduced to each other 2 seconds ago,we have not reached the Hug level,I don't even know your 1st name yet. I'm not anti social stranger,I don't know u.

A lot of things will be extinct and obsolete as the coronavirus will be with us and re-occure every year...this will change society and the world and the new generation will have to continue this lifestyle. That's how robots will be performing more tasks than humans

Remember bacteria and viruses are also a good thing and we cant live without them. So when this Corona is finito, throw away the masks and hug your family and friends. And let your kids eat dirt, climp trees and play with a lot of friends, it boost their and ours immune system.

That's no warning. It's just common sense.

No hugs? all my girlfriends will not like that😂

In your F dreams

Bullshit!

What are they warning, will I die if handshake die?

✍️ everyone can greet eachother like in Thailand 🙏, much better than touching the hand that wipes the arse.....

It's OK, can follow the India way of greeting like Namaste 🙏 Namaskaram. Its a gesture to greet from your heart ♥

How to kill the human spirit. Us humans need the contact to thrive. Might as well be robots otherwise. Who ever released this BioWeapon needs hanging 🤬🤬🤬

Everything will be back to norma in a few months

I hope everyone has learnt handwashing regularly is important and carries on with it.

Good

Good

Good. Fed up with people grabbing me at work - except the cute ones.

Only persons hand I shake is if I go for an interview

🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂

It is a true cultural reset.

Here's the Solution: NAMASTE

I will continue to hug my son, & his girlfriend.

How's that a warning? There are hundreds of ways around the world to greet fellow beings, leave alone Namaste!

Only amongst neurotic and windy people, as for hugs that's a relatively new phenomenon anyway but handshakes are ancient and will not stop.

Pepple feelings will revive handshakes, hugs ...etc after this pandemic got over. People are people. HalfOpinion

i just shaked hands with chinese exchang student before the curfew, librarist gave me a funny glance

LiamAle84031274 Actually, during the course of this I’ve realised that I’m worse than the Italians for hugging people! I hugged a total stranger a few months back because they found my car keys! I’m going to be a social outcast when this is over!

What is near extinction is those that give you a proper handshake as so many use soft hands which feels weird

Seriously dumb assumption

luisjovel Not for me they will not

Doubt it. We will have treatments and a vaccine within 24 months.

it's been like that since in Japan is Japan and China is China.

Remember when this Publication got done over by Gretta's 11,000 scientists...Lessons Haven't Been Learned....The Public No Longer trust these 'Scientists' QAnon....

Modi will cry after reading this.

I think I’ll still crack on with handshakes 😂

Modi will have a tough time. His diplomatic relations with a host of countries will go for a toss. This was his trump card. He has no other strength.

No need to have such form of greeting anyway.

Germphobics celebrate 🎉

How will I work out who the real men are? 🤔🤤. Exx

Warn? Why is it a warning? It might be a fact or a just a prediction that doesn’t eventuate. Why doesn’t the mail rake this moment in history to start being a real newspaper?

I’m good with it

Why is this a warning? I don't miss handshakes. And why/who public hugs?

I wouldn’t worry about the handshakes and hugs. Write about those bloody live markets in Wuhan.

'Scientists warn' - for god's sake - first why do we need to worry about it, and second it doesn't need a scientist to warn us - it's ruddy self-evident... jeez

EU under threat from coronavirus pandemic as it exposes divisionThe continent has been hit hardest by the epidemic, with around 18,000 deaths, and despite pleas for solidarity, leaders from across the bloc have clashed discussing the financial fallout. The EU has proved itself useless in protecting its citizens from Coronavirus. It should have banned travel to and from Italy early on and provided medical resources to help them deal with the epidemic. Dogged adherence to free movement principles has lead to the death of 000’s Why has the UK not introduced any entry restrictions? Are we relying solely on bans introduced by other countries and the reduction in aviation traffic to stop travellers from badly affected areas coming here?

The Observer view on government failure in the coronavirus crisisA pandemic was always going to put the health system under strain, but Britain was woefully unready 'Failure' - really? Let's be honest, some people are annoyed by how much progress has been made by a Conservative Government. Nothing wrong with holding the Government to account, but so much of the criticism is just the usual partisan stuff. When this is over the people of the UK will see BorisJohnson and his cronies in court for criminal negligence. If one member of my family dies I will have cause of death recorded as UK Government. Obviously we expect our governments to quickly implement emergency measures to cope with extraordinary circumstances.However,it is necessary to support measures.Are we all doing this?
