So, was watching NCAA Div2 wrestling on ESPN the other day. The guys would go at it ... no mask. Sweating, Breathing, sometimes bleeding on each other. At the end of the match, if you have ever seen a high school or college wresting match, the guys shake hands. It's a sign of sportsmanship and respect. Nope ... not this time. They did a 'fist bump'. I looked up why. NCAA rules prohibit athletes from shaking hands due to the Covid. No shit. You can't make that shit up.
THIS IS NOT ABOUT SAFETY.
THIS IS ABOUT CONTROL.
This whole ordeal has really revealed the people who just don't bother ever thinking about anything, just pure stimulus response machines. I'm a massage therapist, I normally never start a session without first greeting the client with a handshake, as the first contact is the most important one. I'm about to put my hands directly on 90% of their naked body and some of them still look skeptically at my hand and come in with an elbow.
