Live Long and Prosper.(no emotion allowed) was the Vulcan way on The Original Star Trek

Am I the only one who can do the Vulcan salute with both hands?

Being ambidextrous, by Aggie standards, means I can't do anything with either hand.

I never attended Texas A&M, although I have been out to TEEX (Finest Disaster Response training facility I've been privileged to visit.).

Let's keep in mind that despite the media hype and so forth, that this is a serious public health issue and take all reasonable precautions.

Namaste is the most common way of Greeting people in India! This is the age old practice to avoid direct contact with others that minimizes the spread of virus or bacteria from person to person.

Namaste has a special meaning (in addition to Greetings!). It is one way of expressing your respect for others. It also means that I bow myself to the divinity in you or God in you! This is to recognize that God is everywhere, in you, in me and in everyone.

I hope this helps, Rampur

The namaste recognition with palms together and a nod is also a pleasing way, rather older than Spock's but with the same meaning.

Peace and long life

My grandson said "Spock's salute is The One True Greeting". My daughter made the following observation:

I just want to point out that bumping elbows is a really bad idea. We teach kids, and do ourselves, to cough and sneeze into our forearm/crook of our elbow. That makes that part of the body something I don't want to get anywhere close to! I recommend the "Wuhan handshake" where you touch feet - or just be content with a gentlemanly nod and smile. Social distancing means no shaking hands, or bumping elbows, or even touching feet! But smiles can travel across that distance!
