Ah here.
This morning.
The Square, Tallaght, Dublin.
Safety-conscious Santa launches the Christmas festivities in new normal style at The Square in Tallaght which sees the return of Santa’s Grotto, an Adventure Trail in the centre, plus a panoramic ferris wheel and festive funfair outside.

There’s a greater chance of the anti-vaxxers believing in Santa than believing in Covid, so this could be interesting…
Does anyone else have a problem with understanding this new-normal elbow-rubbing thing?
Principles:
Stay 2 metres apart from other people.
Do not shake hands.
Cough into your elbow.
Practice:
Stand two metres apart (or probably less, unless you have long arms).
Lean the top portion or your body towards the other person until your heads are aproximately one metre (or maybe less, if you or they have short arms) – you may need to bring one of your feet closer, in order not to over-balance.
Rub your potentially coughed-on elbow against the other person’s potentially coughed-on elbow.
(Dancing a merry little jig, at the same time apparently makes this more jolly, as demonstrated by TDs.)
I used to like all the ” lick it ” comments, they seem to have gone the way of fun commentators
Just don’t do it.
Embrace the person in a loving hug and support each others immune system.
Microbiome to microbiome – a beautiful thing that has served us for over 200 thousand years.
Licking is optional…

‘Just don’t do it.’
I don’t do elbow-rubbing, Micko – well, only once, before I realised what the other person was doing (no television so I’d not seen it done until then)! I think it is just plain stupid for the reasons I gave but also because, if you are too scared to shake hands, wouldn’t you just stand at 2m and say hallo or stay away altogether?
Most of the people I know or see around are just behaving normally as regards greetings and farewells but maybe that’s just because I don’t go to many places where people are scared.
Since when does people taking measures to limit potential transmission of Covid equate to being scared?
Maybe you’re scared of the truth? WoooOOOOOOoooOOOOOOOOOoooooOOO

‘Since when does people taking measures to limit potential transmission of Covid equate to being scared?.’
I didn’t say that it did, Kim. I was commenting on the fact that the people I meet or see around are mostly behaving normally when they greet or say farewell. I also mentioned that these people are generally not scared. I was merely stating what I have found to be the case. I indicated that my experience might be different if I met more people who were scared. It might be different if I went to other places, regardless of whether the people were scared or not.
Why do you repeat all the comments you reply to.
@ Tom J
I guess your question was rhetorical but, in case you really want an answer, it is to make it clear what is being replied to. The person may have made more than one point in their comment and/or by the time your reply appears, other replies may have separated yours from the original post. I find it helpful when other people do it, which they often do – see Micko’s comment further down, as an example. If you don’t find it helpful, you can just ignore it.
Good point.
I can’t imagine being in Paris without tbe bises
This is undoubtedly the way forward.
Elbow bumping really became a thing for me when I was in Freetown, Sierra Leone to support the Nation’s efforts to deal with the Ebola outbreak. Sure, it was around long before hand and and kinda made its mark with both the avian and swine flu outbreaks.
But in West Africa, it became and remains completely commonplace.
So elbow bumps work for me. I won’t shake anyone’s hand these days.
” I won’t shake anyone’s hand these days.”
Forever?
No, these days…. when it’s sensible to do so…. it’s not sensible to do so for now.
I think you might be wrong. Covid is never going away.
You’re vaccinated I take it. IMO people need to expose themselves to everything.
But to each their own, I’m not trying too have a go ;)
Soft tinkle.
Remedy is a tea spoon of cement, and harden the fupp up.
If you think the evolutionary process we have endured since the stone age, is worth squat, you are either a fool or a troll.
A bio weapon that lets 99.7 of its victim’s live, really is a nothing burger, but a fantastic control mechanism.
Jabbing most of the planet, and pressuring a disease to evolve is more problematic, coupled with ADE, cancelled normal screening, poison ploppies in the clot shot lottery, and other preventable deaths that just were not prevented from occurring, are going to cause excess mortality this winter, for the first time in this plandemic.
Only a mug, can believe, 2 weeks, to flatten the curve, the vaccine is safe and efficient, we need boosters of the same poo that did not work the first time, and if you buy into it, as harsh as this sounds, the Darwin award will be awarded.
Heads are being wrecked daily by a very concerted, well run psychological operation, it is simple torture and mind control.
I think Malcom X, and to paraphrase, said that folks need to be drip fed the truth to cause the awakening, because after believing so many lies for centuries, we can not wrap our heads around it.
Collectively lets wake up.
The earth is a wonderous place, and if a fraction of a percentile, was not hell bent on being greedy whilst worshipping Satan, there really could be a better place for all.
The harsh irony being – those ‘trusting the science’ will be the one’s carrying on with the narrative, taking multiple boosters & blitzing their innate immunity in the process. Darwin (Mason) award indeed.
Here’s a fact for all you ‘science’ folk. The ‘primordial soup’ hypothesis have never been proven or replicated in a laboratory, not once. The complex protein chains remained innate. Perhaps people should be a more careful as to where they place their beliefs.
?????
What’s causing your confusion? The central thrust of my point is scientism is being used to create consensus.
Have a search of the ‘replication crisis’ and ask why so many published papers are fraudulent.
