If you weren’t able to snap up a bottle of hand sanitizer before stores sold out, you can make your own. You find the basic ingredients in any drug store and most grocery stores. Here’s what you need:
2/3 cup Isopropyl alcohol 91% (rubbing alcohol) 1/3 cup aloe vera gel Essential oil in your choice of fragrance (optional) A small or medium mixing bowl A spoon An empty container, such as a 3-ounce container from a travel toiletries kit A small piece of masking tape for labeling
Here’s how to make it:
In a mixing bowl, stir Isopropyl alcohol and aloe vera gel together until well blended.
Add 8-10 drops of scented essential oil (optional, but nice!). Stir to incorporate.
Pour the homemade hand sanitizer into an empty container and seal. Write “hand sanitizer” on a piece of masking tape and affix to the bottle.
The CDC recommends using hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol content. This recipe makes a sanitizer that slightly exceeds that alcohol content at 60.66%, so follow the proportions exactly. If you want a sanitizer with a higher alcohol percentage, decrease the amount of aloe vera to 1/4 cup.

Truly we have become a nation of cowards.
Who has large amounts of aloe vera gel around at home?
All of mine came as hand-sanitizer.
Equally sad that people suddenly feel they need it. These are items every household should have on hand already.
Sad that so many of what used be Americans are now hoarding.
But you can just use a spray nozzle on alcohol. Then moisturize at night.
If you wash your hands with soap and hot water you will be fine. Also most homes have Lysol or Chlorox wipes somewhere under the sink, put a few in a ziplock bag and you have portable wipes for door knobs, desks etc
How to make hand sanitizer at home..
Jack Daniels and a towel.
BTW, you’re right.
I’m embarrassed at even the response from American conservative folks, any of them.
It’s not Ebola or the Plague for God’s sake.
Take precautions.
And have some of the faith you’re always proudly talking about. (not you obviously)
unfortunately 80 proof (40 percent) not enough
i’m not disappointed because it just makes people more prepared for something real.
And when big problem hits it probably will be of totally different nature than whatever people feared, but that’s ok because they are prepared better in general
But you can just use a spray nozzle on alcohol.
You just have to use safety training and make sure of what is behind your target.
80 proof just needs a longer contact time
I use windex.
Btt.
Reminds me of the very simple method of becoming a millionaire:
First, get a million dollars.
Hey you look at things in a good way.
That’s nice :)
I make bitter/angry comments 50 times a day.
That’s why at your funeral there will be 250 people and at mine there will be 15. And that’s if there’s food afterwards!! :)
If you can’t do that, try this...

Your minimizing this contagion doesn’t help. This is not a seasonal flu—it’s much more serious. Try listening to citizen reports out of China, and watch what the Chinese government are doing, not what they are saying.
I have employees in China and what they are saying is not good.
i will have less i guarantee
