A scintillating question about germs and washing your hands

So , after I've washed my hands for 20 seconds using hot water and soap, where are the germs?

Have I washed them down the sink, are they clinging on to the sides of my sink or have I wiped them all over my towel and they'll carrying on breeding there. Where are they now?

I do wonder about this and if by turning the tap of you reinfect yourself and the towel.
I thought I was thorough anyway washing my hands but since singing happy birthday my hands are sore.

No question is daft. If you don't know something then you ask! It is a pretty simple concept. I am sure you have asked questions in your life that others deem simple!

I don't think I have ever questioned hand washing and what the actual science is behind the germ killing or washing them off hands. Clearly you have. Maybe you have the answers to all the questions buzzing around at the moment.
So please do go ahead and tell the world how we eradicate the virus? I am sure the WHO are really wanting help from somebody so sure of themselves!
