Something similar happened to me last week. I was so surprised to be hugged by someone after an interview with them, having already been somewhat surprised that they were willing to meet in person.

On the other hand, watching all three hours of the RFK congressional testimony the other day, I found the occasional masked aides sitting behind various senators a helpful clue as to the party affiliation of that senator. So germophobia can be useful on occasion.

That's lovely, would've loved to've seen their faces when you went from perfect English to perfect German. My friend who was told she has looong covid by her doctor is now convinced she has vaccine damage. She got the shot and shortly after had pain in her extremities, head aches and was severely physically impaired. It seems my step-brother Ian has the same thing with the same first medical prognosis. My parents banged on to me to get the shots every time I spoke to them on the phone. My eldest daughter Nathalia has had all three and she also complains of similar symptoms, but we don't talk about it as she's one of these very clever people that thinks daddy looks at the internet too much... My youngest twice-jabbed daughter who lives with us sees her unjabbed healthy mum and dad as people with a healthy distrust of authority. Her mind may've been changed after our nearest neighbour died of a heart attack after his and our organic veg delivery driver Terry was found dead in his flat of a blood clot in his brain. Also our buddy Jimmy had a stroke days after his, luckily he survived, but reported back to me that the hospital ward he was in was full of men with similar stories. Practically all of these adverse reactions were unreported, leading me to believe it's worse than I thought. I love hugging people.
