To help prevent the dangers of contracting Coronavirus and Influenza, will you take the Happy Birthday challenge?

Asked by Yellowdog (12216points) March 10th, 2020

Schoolchildren are being taught that as an extra precaution to prevent catching colds, the flu, and other viruses, they should sing the Happy Birthday song a second time while washing their hands.

But the average person can sing Happy Birthday many more times while washing their hands. How about you? How many times can YOU sing the Happy Birthday song while washing your hands? I can sing the Happy Birthday songs eight times while washing my hands if I sing fast.

The only rule is that you must sing it out loud. It is much quicker to sing it in your head. That’s cheating.

No, I’ll just thoroughly wash my hands, without needing to sing, as I always have.

Dogs howl when I sing, so I think that I’ll opt to count to 20. I’ve gotten very good at counting in 1 second intervals!!!

I REFUSE TO SING HAPPY BIRTHDAY unless there is cake.

I only sing Happy Birthday when it is someone’s birthday. Or when I need to remember my name…

I sing this three times instead.
It keeps people away too.
