The COVID-19 outbreak is really getting the best of us. More than 50,000 people have died from the virus in the United States. The availability of toilet paper is a thing of the past. With social distancing measures in place, professionals are working from home, business on top, pajamas on the bottom, all while fearing for their job security. People have been quarantined for a month (or more), and they’re going stir crazy.  Instead of obeying stay-at-home orders, with some questionable direction from the president to LIBERATE their states, some are out protesting in the streets to reopen their local economies.

What more can we possibly do to protect ourselves from the coronavirus? Russell Hedman, a senior associate at Hogan Lovells, has the answer — in song.

UPDATE: We caught up with Hedman, who’s been with the Rocket Surgeons band since he was in law school, and asked how he found the time to write this song and produce the video while keeping up with his work. “Like all lawyers with hobbies, I find time in the margins,” he said. “More than a few songs have been started on Hogan Lovells memo pads while I wait for a meeting to start.” As far as how his fellow associates can wind down during difficult times like these, here’s what he had to say:

Make the most of it. I usually complain that I don’t have enough time alone to write music. I guess the universe heard me.
