      I reached out to the change-ringers list about sanitizing ropes.  
The general agreement is that one can't sensibly do it, but an interesting 
fact I was given is that the virus can live less than three days on a 
fabric surface, which I guess would include linen or wool. So from service 
ringing to the next practice session, maybe the ropes will self-sanitize? 
     Everyone suggested 
hand hygiene, someone else mentioned my idea of sticking to one rope per 
person.  I have decided to severely cut back my T usage , so I won't be at 
practice, but would suggest that someone clean the tower doorknobs and the 
handrails at Old North after the 11 AM tour . (Dale - are they still 
running tours?) and that everybody do the full hand wash before heading up 
to the ringing room.  I left a new roll of paper towels on the shelf above 
the toilet last week.  Each person should dry with a fresh paper towel 
instead of everybody sharing the same cloth hand towel (or using one's 
clothing).  I also put a new box of tissues in the ON ringing room, and 
would hope that people would sanitize after tissue use or inadvertent 
face-touching. And stop sticking fingers in the Cornhusker's bottle ( I 
may be the only one who does that ).

PS as a contribution to the popular list of songs to sing while washing, 
it seems that from rounds to back rounds is about the right duration

although my favorite currently is Gloria Gaynor singing I will survive 
while washing
