Post-Pandemic Perfect Propriety Survey

How will our behavior change after the pandemic is over?

Dear Etiquetteer Readers:

Once the pandemic is over (will it ever be over?), once quarantine, lockdown, social distance, all of the above get lifted, Etiquetteer believes our collective behavior will change permanently. But how? Etiquetteer would like your opinions about some areas of behavioral change. The survey shouldn't take more than five minutes. Thank you kindly for participating, and for your interest in Etiquetteer!

1.How do you feel about face masks in the future? (Please select one answer.)

Face masks should look alike, like a school uniform, to play down economic differences.

It doesn't matter what a face mask looks like, as long as it looks simple and effective

People should be able to wear whatever mask they choose, regardless of what it looks like.

People should be able to wear a mask or not. It's a free country.

2.What form of greeting would you choose to replace the handshake? (Please select one answer.)

Simple bow from the waist

Simple nod of the head

Vulcan salute (making a thick V of the right hand by spreading the third and fourth fingers)

Namaste greeting (placing palms together at the center of your chest and bowing slightly)

Long distance fist bump

Military-style salute

Comments

3.Do you think the era of the big wedding is ending? (Please select one answer.)

Yes, I think fewer people will want to travel long distances to participate in weddings.

Maybe. I think weddings may get a little smaller, but there will still be large weddings.

No, people will resume pre-pandemic ways to attend weddings.

4.What other pandemic-related questions and issues would you like to see Etiquetteer cover in future columns this spring?
