Nathan Wolfe, a virus expert at Stanford University in California, suggests we should use a "safe shake" like touching elbows or follow the example of the Japanese and take a bow to avoid the spread of infections

Stare into people's eyes and smile. Especially in business dealings. If the smile doesn't spread to the eyes ... deals off!!!

Or

Walk around witha stash of surgical gloves!! laugh

In some countries they don't shake hands ... they kiss!!! So then walk around with a stash of anti-bacterial wipes!! laugh

OR

Walk around looking like Michael Jackson all the time!!
NO!!!!!!!!! Hold on!!!! That didn't work either!!! Didn't do him any good!!! doh
