I was particularly curious about friends and people you are somewhat close with. Does it really change where you are depending on the season?

Most of my friends hug. I'm from Germany.

Well, since Covid happened some people have become more aware. And currently everyone is annoyed at work because half the people are sick at home and you have to compensate. The other half goes to work but they're also sick and sniff and cough and spread the viruses. I'm vastly exaggerating. But it certainly feels this way. I've stopped hugging my friends so we can make it to christmas and don't mix the viruses ;-)

I think the majority of people don't care that much.
