In some countries it’s being encouraged that people rethink those traditional greetings of kissing on the cheeks and handshaking because of H1N1.  Have you had to rethink your traditional greetings because of H1N1 or have you seen ads encouraging you to give up your customary cheek to cheek kissing, etc.?

I don't kiss anyone on the cheek if they are sick (or if I am sick). DH's family all greet each other by kissing on the cheek. I don't think we will stop that.

I’m rethinking that double cheeky kissy stuff.  : )  Heck, I’m even rethinking handshaking because all you see is H1N1 this and H1N1 that on the TV anymore.  It’s enough to start making those of us who were keeping their cool about it all to become slightly paranoid.
