Where I was during Covid, a good number of people switched over to a sort of 'foot-handshake'.
Basically both masked people stand facing each other, at handshake distance, and lightly tap their right feet into each other once, like a very gentle and minimized version of what would otherwise be a leg sweep in martial arts.
Either that or an 'elbow-shake', gently tap each other's right elbows together at chest level, like a very minimized muay thai elbow strike.

While the finger is 100% safe, the fist bump may follow shortly after.

90% fewer germs gonna be left on your face than if you kissed them.

Depends where you put the finger

You can pick your friends, and you can pick your nose, but you can't pick your friend's nose.

But what about the occasional fist bump in the face for flipping someone off?
Heh, an hour too late with that joke... @FelixCress

Pretty sure there are greetings that spread more germs than a handshake, what about a hug or kiss?
