No because I have at least half a brain and use hand sanitizer and refrain from touching my own face when out in public.

No. I just wash my hands regularly like any person with a brain and and an IQ over 50.

Yes, I do a lot more bowing now but if I do shake hands, I don't touch any part of my face and wash my hands as soon as possible. I carry several small bottles of hand sanitizer at all times.

I live in Japan so I never shake hands anyway.

No.

At Costco the other day, a young guy wiped the trolley handle with some chemical or other as we entered the store. It seemed a sensible thing to do. We didn't shake hands, but I wanted to.

Although I do not have so much opportunity to shake hands, I might have unconsciously been stopped doing that. But more impoetantly, we might want to refrain from shaking hands if we trust with each other.

Heck no.
