11:30 – With the end of COVID-19 restrictions in Saskatchewan, life is slowly returning to normal, but one thing that hasn’t completely returned yet is the handshake. Gormley says he’s back on team handshake, and loves to shake hands as his standard greeting, but others (including Joe Biden’s top medical advisor Dr. Anthony Fauci) have said they’d prefer if the handshake disappeared altogether. Are you shaking hands with strangers again, or are you still using an elbow bump or an alternate form of greeting? If the handshake does disappear, what should it be replaced with?
