You’ve heard the talks. They want you to stop shaking hands à-la-anglo-saxon, they want you to stop “la bise” à-la-French, all for one single reason: H1N1.
Let’s become Asian together
Apparently, kiss on the cheeks or hand shakes are too much for personal hygiene nowadays. Because of a simple virus deemed very dangerous, we should all stop shaking hands and kissing each other on the cheeks, as well as stuff our hands with alcohol-based sanitizers.
Yes, Sacrozi’s Government has even proposed making the French Bise illegal.
Based on demographics, if it isn’t for the normal spread of a disease, shaking hands is the most dangerous action, probably because we keep puting our hands all over ourselves for various reasons. Seconding that would be yes, bowing, and than the French Bise, because Japan has had more cases than France.
How Irrelevant
See how irrelevant this is? Really, I don’t think avoiding contact with other humans will really help. You might as well catch it by putting your hand on your pencil at that rate…
So, I really don’t know what to make of this disease. But my own advice would be to stop bad habits like eating your nails and try to stay away from shady restaurants where “clean” is not at least a 4 on 5. There’s plenty of freak stuff you could do to, like not licking your finguers while eating, but arguably this is pointless because by then the infected food is already in your stomach…
Oh, and, wash your hands where it counts. Researchs proved your keyboard is actually dirtier than a public toilet seat (assuming you’re in a relatively clean environment, high schools don’t count).
