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!
