The leading infectious disease expert said an end to handshaking could also cut the number of influenza cases.

Dr. Anthony Fauci, the National Institute of Allergies and Infectious Diseases director, said Americans should never shake hands again, in order to prevent the spread of coronavirus and other diseases.Wall Street Journal

He also suggested that people might want to wear"cloth face protection" if they could not avoid being within six feet of others as life starts its return to normal. "So I don't think you should judge the use or not of masks and physical separation what you see with the task force for the rest of the country, it really is different."

"But when this goes down, and gets down to almost zero, when we get to that, then I think what's important... there is an antibody test that will be widely distributed pretty soon, in the next few weeks, that will allow you to know whether or not you've actually been infected." "I don't think we should ever shake hands ever again, to be honest with you. Not only would it be good to prevent coronavirus disease, it probably would decrease instances of influenza dramatically in this country."President Trump revealed at the end of last month thatwould be extended until April 30. He also warned that he expected the novel coronavirus death toll to peak in a couple of weeks.

I won’t be shaking hands ever again!

Maybe we could all switch to the Japanese practice of bowing to each other...although that might be construed as racist(?)

This is food for thought....., What hand ✋do you use to wipe yourselves with when taking a crap ? Do you use the (right hand ✋or the left hand ✋) then you hopefully wash your hands. And you shake hands with people at some time or another ? Yes ? Good luck !

LindoXulu 🤣

How about legal residents? ;-)

Ive always cringed a little after a handshake.

This guy needs to go..he's been a fraud from the beginning. He sounds like he knows a lot. My dad used to tell me the smoothest talkers are likely the biggest bull shitters ....

We should bow instead, just like Japanese

Wow

Screw that we shouldn't be living in fear.

Good idea, especially for germophobes like me.

I'm cool with that. Bowing is fine.

Why only Americans? Everyone should stop shaking hands FauciFan

It's time to never hear from this guy again.

Hun. . .I thought it was AIR BORN

...and let's do away with hugging...🥴 On behalf of United Non Huggers of America!!!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Good.. it’s disgusting habit.. why don’t we just bow respectfully to one another like the people do in the eastern cultures 🤔

This guy ...

Seems reasonable

TravisFain Great minds

And the flu, cold, and a a myriad of other issues

I agree.

Dr. Fauci also said: “If you are a healthy young person, if you want to go on a cruise ship, go on a cruise ship' on March 9th. So he can hit the bench as far as I'm concerned.

Agreed.

LOL

This is stupidity.

Kiss is still a kiss⁉

I hated shaking hands anyway. And what’s with all the people hating on Fauci? God you people are clowns.

Literally not what he said in the quote, but I guess clickbait is paying your bills now...

Fine by me....

Fine with me.

I’m good wit that.

Let us start with not eating exotic animals like bats.

Dr Fauci has lost his mind!

Silverlining.

No great loss.

Isn’t his 15 minutes up - enough of this guy he works for Gates not the people

And it's begun...

Coronavirus government response updates: Trump, Fauci confirm blacks especially hard hit“I didn’t see them but I heard he wrote some memos,” Trump says when asked about memos Navarro wrote to the White House warning of coronavirus pandemic in late January. Trump adds that had he read them, it would not have changed his actions on COVID-19. I hope someone has him saying on video that the virus is a hoax. He had rallies in February when he should have been being proactive about the virus. Why do you carry this bullshit? STOP POSTING HIS BROADCASTS... He offers nothing tangible in any way helpful
