May you wash your hands (20 seconds, people!), not touch your face, and may you Live Long and Prosper.
I touched my face while I was reading this.
Does not bode well.

Not everyone can split their fingers that way. It’s a genetic thing. So no, it only works reliably with Vulcans.
The WHO (World Health Organization, not the band) for years has recommended using elbow bumps as greetings.

Yeah, I can’t do it.
I suggest fist bumps as the way to go.

I can only do the Vulcan finger thing on my left hand, oddly enough…

That leaves one hand always free for a Phaser. Where’s the problem?

I had my first appt. with my new doctor last Tuesday. He want to shake my hand and I just put out my fist for a bump. He looked at me weird and I said people shouldn’t be shaking hands right now. He replied “Oh, that’s a new thing” and bumped me back.
As I was leaving, he went to go shake someone else’s hand (sanitized, didn’t wash) and they just waved back saying what I said.
…might have to find a new new doctor.

We must have posted at the same time. 
I’ll remove mine (if I can; nope, can’t)
Nimoy said he witnessed the Priestly Blessing. It is made by priests, not rabbis. And there is nothing secret about it.
