Description:

At the height of the pandemic last year, top public health officials were openly hoping that COVID-19 meant the end of the handshake. Even if the greeting doesn't effectively transmit the coronavirus, it's a very effective way to pass on other bacteria.

And will it become another battleground in the culture war that has already politicized masks and vaccinations?
