In these uncertain times we're living through, it can be hard to keep up with the surfeit of new information that is thrown out there each and everyday.
However, when it comes to coronavirus, certain themes emerge time and time again, one of which is the importance of adequately washing your hands.
The CDC recommends humming 'happy birthday' twice through to be sure you're spending an appropriate amount of time on your hand washing, and you can read a full list of their recommendations here.
Gloria Gaynor washes her hands to the tune of I Will Survive:Meanwhile, the global phenomenon Baby Shark has re-emerged with a new song, and the theme is - you guessed it - washing your hands.
The original Baby Shark song, which I think we're all more than familiar with at this point, actually has something of a history. Per Newshub, the song appeared in a video in 2007, before enjoying a surge in popularity in Asia in 2017 thanks to PinkFong releasing its own version.
And now, Pink Fong is back with a new Baby Shark offering:Wash Your Hands with Baby Shark.
The new effort is clearly proving popular: Wash Your Hands with Baby Shark boasts nearly four million views since it was uploaded on March 21.
And the lyrics? Well, they're not groundbreaking, but they do deliver a clear and useful message in these times:
Wash your hands, doo doo doo doo doo (x3)
Grab some soap, doo doo doo doo doo (x3)
Rub your hands, doo doo doo doo doo (x3)
Rinse your hands, doo doo doo doo doo (x3)
Dry your hands, doo doo doo doo doo (x3)
The song also encourages listeners to cover their sneezes and cough into their elbows.
We are urging all of our readers to adhere to the advice from their respective governments and medical bodies, and practice social distancing and self-isolation where required. Together, we will beat this...
