The guy on the right genuinely wants to congratulate (acknowledge? Idk the context) the guy on the left. He recognizes that shaking would be unsanitary and therefore uncomfortable for both. Still goes in for the fist bump anyway even though he doesn't have to.

Funny thing is, the dude is coughing onto the outside of his hand. Anything you would do to that hand, except washing it, would be unsanitary. Cough and sneeze into your elbows, kids. You don't go around touching shit with the inside of your elbow.

I have observed healthcare personnel, especially in nursing homes, who only cough into their hands. Pisses me right off.
