Navigating The New Etiquette Rules Of Post-Vaccination Partying

Now comes the hard part: actually interacting with people. 

First up, the dreaded greeting - a particularly hard-to-navigate nicety after a year of Zoom calls and avoiding close contact. Do you shake hands? Elbow bump? What about that awkward moment when someone goes in for a hug on reflex? 

Well, again, it's all about your level of personal comfort and being mindful of others. But also, you can simply laugh off any awkwardness - it's been a weird year, and everyone is figuring out how to dip their toes back into society. Relax!

You can embrace the dramatic air kiss, go for a casual touch on the arm, or wave and say hello to someone while standing six feet away. Explore your options! Come up with a new signature move! Maybe we should bring back the curtsy?
