Extending the right hand, wrist facing inward, with the INDEX finger pointing upward -- a symbol of individuality, responsibility, and persistence; the Libertarians (capitalized) adopted it over fifty years ago.

I have always been big on a handshake and living in South Carolina, I am not alone in that. But the praying hands and head nod does seem to be the bet alternative.

Not from his greeting of choice.

A nod of the head is much safer then touching hips or butts.

So, I believe hand gestures are likely out. Even in the UK.. What we generally think of as the "Peace" symbol in the US is the same as the middle finger here. Though I believe the hand is facing the opposite way?

I say the thumbs up. If someone in America thinks that means I am giving them the finger, well they can just take a hike.

It will. I mean people started thinking the 'OK' symbol was a white power symbol.

Hold up your hand and say "how". That has worked for the Indians for many moons.

I think that after CV is over, people will resume their normal behavior.
Right now a nod and a smile is fine with me.

A simple head nod is good enough for me. I have always hated shaking hands even pre-corona.

Bowing at a distance or just saying hello from over 6' away.
