"It's incredibly important to wash your hands while singing happy birthday." lol.

I hope some good may come out of all of this & that companies like Lush, an excellent & ethical company who won't profiteer from the crisis, mint it (they might need to start online retailing tho, if they don't do that already).
Edit - link for those not already itk - https://uk.lush.com/ [Post edited 15 Mar 2020 10:51]

Lush aren’t the lovey dovey socialist business they pretend they are though. Treat staff like dirt. |  |

Would gargling with shampoo* help if the infection gets into the throat?
* Not an entirely serious suggestion, but wonder if some similar procedure could be developed. |
*Gargling* - very good reminder - this was a go-to strategy in the 50s when I grew up, and I believe it was proved very effective. Wonder if a strong salt water solution would do the job here, or if you need something a bit more chemical (I'm anticipating some saying neat whisky, gin or vodka might be the answer!). |  |

While singing happy birthday. |
Happy birthday is the right length to wash your hands correctly. It's like singing Stayin' Alive whilst giving CPR.
Why mock something that is good advice for most people to remember very easily? |  |

Because they should be singing the chorus to “Do they Owe Us A Living” by Crass. | |

If that song is the correct length recommended for hand washing then go for it. But I doubt the majority of the population are as familiar with it as they are Happy Birthday. | |

If they were society would be RAD though. | |

Not in the slightest. All I was saying is that this is the one thing they’ve fixated on at the cost of additional information. People have been left to try and work out what to do themselves. My 81 year old dad hasn’t a clue what to do. We’ve had people on here wondering what to do if one child is sick; keep siblings at home too or send them to school? We’ve spent days at work trying to formulate a plan when to close, whether staged, whether to cancel lectures, still keep meetings, or cancel those to - millions of people are having to make decisions with no information or guidance that is forthcoming in other countries.
In that respect it’s like another slogan to them they can hide behind (albeit a valuable one for once) |
Agree with your first para, but tbf, the fact is that *no-one* really knows - incl politicians, doctors, scientists - because as a first ever situation, it's an unknown, and only time + experience will show what the best path was. I'm over 70, and there's never been anything like this in my lifetime. | |
