Exactly! You sneeze and cough into your elbow. Then you touch another person’s elbow, where they probably have also sneezed and coughed. Then when you sneeze or cough again, the other person’s germs now on your elbow get in you. What’s the point?
This a perfect example of people picking and choosing the advice from lots of different places/times to suit what they want to do without any read regard for thinking about why something was recommended.
The same experts who came up with the mandatory “set-top box” for your TV just as TVs went flat-screen so there’s no longer enough room on top of them to put a box.
The first time I ever elbow bumped a person was with a black woman who believe it or not is still my friend, We elbow bumped, and I said, “Hey Girlll”. She is close to my age, so it’s possible she enjoyed the compliment.
To heck with the elbow. When I feel a sneeze coming on I pull up the neck of my shirt and sneeze inside it. Germs are contained and get washed off in that night’s shower.
I use a “Libertarian” greeting I made up. Right hand up, forefinger and thumb sticking up, the others curled in (forming an “L” to the viewer) and then say “LIVE FREE”

This pandemic makes us all do weird things.

Just do a head nod or fist bump when greeting each other.

Those experts are only expert at being paranoid. It is a flu bug. People are dying from all the flu bugs all the time. More children are being aborted
