I believe given the current situation, stopping social gestures such as handshakes, cheek kisses, and hugs is the right thing to do.  I strongly agree with the video because it is better to be safe than sorry. If we continue with the current social gestures, we would continue transmitting diseases and risk getting sick or worst, death. There is a simple solution to this problem. The alternatives that can take place instead of handshakes are bowing. According to Wikipedia, bowing is a gesture that shows deep respect for someone.  Bowing is simple, and everyone can do it. You do not risk transmitting diseases, and you do not touch the other person in the first place. It is great to greet someone, close a deal, and can be used for everything.
