Handshakes might be a thing of the past at business
meetings, but with the Sani-Card business card, you can
still hand out your credentials to potential business
clients.
The cards are inside a foil packet that may or may not
have
some kind of disinfectant solution, although it's probably
not necessary.
Tear it open and offer the protruding, un-touched card to
the client while holding only the packet.
This wasn't an idea, it was a dream I had last night. I was
at a meeting and pulled one of these out and used it and
thought "Oh, that's clever, wish I had thought of that.".
I guess technically I did.
Who knows what the future holds? Might turn out to be a
thing. It certainly shows deference to your potential
client.
Fast forward to 2:00

This would be great if the card was impregnated with a chemical weapon capable of dermal absorption. There are many organophosphate and fluorophosphonyl derivatives with that characteristic. |
|
|
Your target would think you were concerned for their health and wellbeing; which indeed you are, but only in as much as you want to damage it. |
|
|
Does sterility(biological sparseness) help mutation? |
|
|
In a complex environment (non sterile) there is probably less chance a mutated entity will get through the other environmental species to an new target. |
|
|
Although, the mutation does have to get through the frequency of the sparseness creating washes and a more complex environment will give cover for said washes. |
|
|
A nice alternative to the practice of handshakes. All
in all a simple bow of the head should suffice too. |
|
|
Yea, crazy to think but wondering if the handshake is dead. |
|
|
I think the ancient Greeks are on record having started that
thousands of years ago. Quaint custom, I was told it was to
show you weren't holding a weapon. Maybe we should
replace it with what Tony Montana and the other gangster
did in the Scarface hotel scene. (link) |

// wondering if the handshake is dead. // |
|
|
No. Pretty soon, people will catch on that they've been lied to. |
|
|
Sadly, this will discredit a lot of other genuinely useful public health initiatives that have done a lot to reduce transmissible diseases. But crying "Wolf !" is always a mistake, if there is no actual wolf. |
|
|
But there isn't a wolf! And I haven't heard anyone crying wolf! |
|
|
And in any case whether people cry "wolf" or not doesn't really help with mitigating deadly diseases. Imagine, I am about to unwittingly enter a plague hospital, and a person rushes up to me and says "no, don't go in there, you will die", and I say to them "why" and they say "a wolf" (actually they ought to cry it, but I don't think it matters). I look through the window and there is no wolf, but there are lots of people lying on beds. I also think, if there is a wolf around, it might be better to be inside with other people, than exposed on the street. And the beds look comfy. I say "are you sure there is a wolf?" and the person says "yes there are wolves everywhere and you must take great care", so I say "Okey dokey" and go in and catch the plague and die. |
|
|
Yes, but you didn't get eaten by the wolf. |
|
|
Besides, wolves form packs. These business cards are in packs. The analogy is exact. |
|
|
If the handshake is to show I'm not holding a weapon, then
perhaps I should eschew it in favor of just holding a weapon. |
|
|
(A scythe should do nicely. No reloads required; reaches to
approximately an acceptable social distance unit; and it
goes beautifully with my mask.) |
|
|
Don't neglect to carry an hourglass with all the sand in the bottom bulb. |
|
|
You could make the card surface redox active, copper for
example, there are plenty of inks that would work too. Then it
would self sterilize fairly quickly. |
|
|
I still prefer a hearty handshake, but I like this idea a lot,
and I go through a lot of business cards. |
|
|
It might be an idea for the new way we're going to do
things in the future. |
|
|
Maybe I should patent it. I know it's old school, but
people still use business cards. I do. Everybody I
know does. |
|
|
They're OK, but not as comfortable as the three-ply quilted stuff, and they don't always flush away first time. |
|
|
The Three Seashells are a better option. |
|
|
You could use a spring loaded business card dispenser,
which could be loaded with fresh clean business cards
handled with gloves. I had one of those once until it got
stolen. |
