The Coronavirus isn’t spread by Chinese food or Corona beers. It isn’t stopped by face masks or praying. It is, however, susceptible to rigorous hand-washing for twenty seconds or more. I can understand not wanting to count or set a timer every time you wash your hands during the day (I have to believe everyone washes their hands multiple times a day just to get by right now, honestly), you can sing “Happy Birthday.” Of course, that gets old and boring fast.
Like all serious things, the internet set about making memes about hand-washing and actually put helpful information into them. Just follow these suggestions and your hands will be so clean that people will stop calling you Stink Palm.
Effective hand washing is one of our BEST weapons against #COVIDー19

My 5 y/o learned a new hand washing song at school today.
— Kirsty Strickland (@KirstyStricklan) March 4, 2020
(To the tune of row, row, row your boat)
🎵Wash, wash, wash your hands,
wash the germs away,
If you don’t, you might get sick,
And that would ruin your day🎵
(x2)
Twitter user @JenMonnier has a whole thread of songs to sing instead of “Happy Birthday”. I’ve been singing the snippet of “Africa” alllll day while hand-washing.
