		schoen on March 30, 2021 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Moderna mRNA sequence released to GitHub [pdf] I remember someone coming up with a song to encourage people to wash their hands more thoroughly much earlier in this pandemic. https://twitter.com/vesselofspirit/status/123748864242514739... 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
