I remember someone coming up with a song to encourage people to wash their hands more thoroughly much earlier in this pandemic.

According to the song lyric, "novel coronavirus / has a lipid outer shell". So it seems like some viruses have taken advantage of this.



Yeah I think that's the reason for the 20-30 second wash since it takes time for the soap to break down the fatty layer.


That stupid ebola song came to mind. It's very catchy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XGltVAJ4JCk
