For me, the fact that I don't have to shake people's hands anymore is relieving. After scratching private regions of the body without washing or sneezing on their palms without washing , they stretch their hands for a shake expecting you to shake those hands. It was considered rude to turn down a hand shake, but now I don't have to worry about that. It's the new normal.
Also, the reduction of passengers in commercial buses makes it more convenient than it was in the past.
