The smell of Hand Sanitizer is heavy in the office and hand washing has become priority number #1. We are experimenting with the “low-toe” instead of the high-five and shoulder bumps instead of hugs. We aren’t quite certain that these tactics aptly fill the space of good old-fashioned human contact, but no one wants to be the bearer of bad virus news to their families.
Have you found that you are more reluctant to allow friends and family to hold your wee ones or even to indulge in cheek-kiss salutations? Are you relying on hand sanitizers when you are out and about or did you shun holiday visiting and are relying on Internet shopping to keep your family safe? Take our poll and let us know how the H1N1 has affected your greetings of family and friends.
We hope you find a solution to the ethical dilemma of not kissing Grandma this season, but in the mean time we are indulging in the Fruits & Passion range of Antibacterial Waterless Soap. The scents are softly sweet and a welcome change from the alcohol-laden scents that harken us back to Doctor’s offices of yore.
