There are biological reasons we hug it out.
To hug or not to hug, that’s the question right now. We’re in a precarious place in the world of greetings etiquette. Depending on where you live, many of us are vaccinated. But it’s hard to know for sure before you embrace whether or not the person you’re leaning into has gotten the jab. At the same time, many of us are yearning for the warmth of a hug after a long year of social isolation.
We may not know what we’re getting from greeting our friends and family with a hug. We just enjoy it. It isn’t until those experiences are taken away that we feel pain and sadness. An elbow bump or air greeting does not suffice.has shown that hugging has a “stress buffering” effect that may even protect us from chronic illness and infections.
Still, for more than a year, we’ve been missing out and many of us are in a gray area when it comes to whether or not to reach in for that much-coveted warm embrace. But according to, director of the Division of Infectious Diseases at Stony Brook Southampton Hospital in Southampton, New York, if you’re both vaccinated then go for it because research has shown that the risk of transmission is extremely low.
