When I'm watching movies, and I see people touching each other, hugging, and not social distancing! In this short period of time, I've become so acclimated to fearing contact with other human beings for fear of, you know, dying and stuff. Now just watching even casual contact much less intimate contact, it strikes me what many of us took for granted.

Lol I get uncomfortable watching group scenes on tv or movies now. A sidewalk scene from Cash Cab made me so uncomfortable Thanks for confirming I am not alone |

I feel like I want to jump through the screen and put an arm between the couple and separate them and hand them both a face a mask. lol And to think, 2-3 months ago, that sentence would've made no sense to anyone. Beach scenes, club scenes, even dinner scenes, mall scenes, I start to wriggle in my chair. I wonder if we'll ever change our viewing. It's kind of like "older" movies and seeing the Twin Towers.

It's like watching vintage TV shows late at night and they offer guests a cigarette before dinner. Seems so.....peculiar, (as well as casually carcinogenic).

I didn't see people hi-five that much anymore before this happened. Now it might actually go out of fashion.

I'd rather hug someone Lol That seems odd in today's climate. I think you are right Shaking hands is too embedded in the business world to go away |

Late night comedian, Stephen Colbert, "touched" ... pardon the expression ... on this, in a piece that presented recently normal activities, being viewed as "porn." It's very funny. www.youtube.com/watch?v=X_IXBvqZgZI |
