Now that more people are getting vaccinated and California is fully reopening on the 15th…..are you ready to do things you haven’t done in over a year, like get handshakes and hugs? People were asked that in a recent survey and while most people said they are ready, a LOT of people said it still makes them nervous. That’s understandable since Covid-19 is still out there and still infecting people. So how do you let people know to keep their distance without making it awkward? Color-coded wristbands might help in social situations.
There’s a company called “Social Bands” They make color coded wrist bands that people can wear to signal their comfort level with people touching them. Red means “keep your distance, preferably 6 feet away”….Green means “Hug away!” ….and Yellow means “I’m cautious. Please ask first”. Sounds like a simple, yet useful tool as we continue to figure all of this out. What do you think? Would you wear one? Tell me in the comments!
