was diagnosed with the corona virus and
this is the handshake in the age of the
corona virus we caught up with dr. oz in

that's okay this is a little bit more
obvious but this this still has a risk

that touch your face which is really how
this gets communicated it isn't at risk
if you fist bump but I think the old
fashioned handshake that may be a thing
of the past is probably a good idea

doing away with the regular kiss hello

had any in stock

wear one if you're sick or if people
around you are sick and that is straight

charging five thousand dollars for a
pack of 50 face masks that's a bargain
compared to this offer
can you believe five thousand dollars
for twenty that's a markup of fifty
thousand percent
