A four panel comic from Dami Lee's ongoing autobiographical comedic series, in which she references the common usage of songs, particularly their choruses, to indicate the length of time one should wash one's hands to safely reduce the risk of infection with coronavirus and other pathogens. She then jokes about her own tendency to end up singing the entire song, therefore getting her hands very clean.
