Ah, The Good Old Days Of Shaking Hands

MOngoose,
I never thought I'd see the day where the government would take away every freedom we have, including going to church in the name of safety. Do you think things will ever get back close to how they was?

​Dear Member When,
Nope.
 
Lots of nopes to answer your question more specifically.  They say it takes 3 months to learn a new habit or to make a lasting lifestyle change.  Well, its been about 3 months, I can honestly say I haven’t shaken a hand in 3 months and lets say Big Daddy Andy says today at 4:00, “its over, you can go back to the way it was in December”, can you picture yourself shaking hands with a stranger you meet on the street?  Can you picture yourself consoling an acquaintance at the funeral home by letting them cry on your shoulder?  Can you picture yourself going to a rock concert, taking your shirt off and diving into the mosh pit?  How about taking your shirt off at the funeral home? Wait--hang on--I got that one mixed up...anyway, I would have never pictured myself doing that before, but you see where I’m going with this.
 
The other big nope is the freedoms we have willfully handed over in the blink of an eye.  The tin foil hat side of me looks at this like a test run.  ‘Hey lets see how far we can go with this, can you believe these people quit going to church for 3 months because of a souped-up cold!  All we did was threaten to take down their license plate number!  Imagine what will they do or not do if we issue bigger threats?!’  Tin foil hat or not, the reality is we’ve all rolled over like scared, beaten-down stray dogs.
