If you werent 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. Heres 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
Heres 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.

Yes but most people have a container of those wipes under the kitchen sink. I mentioned it to my neighbors and sure enough 8 out of 10 had them. People buy them during flu season and then put them back Ndebele the sink.

What a waste.
‘employees in China’ - I just don’t see comparing China’s response/ health and safety laws/ hospitals - anything - to what we have here in the US (except for of course the crappy streets in San Fran).
What are you hearing??
The reports of extremely aggressive cordons sanitaire are true: people are being locked into their buildings, or if not locked in, they are not allowed to leave without showing a pass to get out on the street...also, emptied stores.
Anybody who says it’s “just a flu” should ask himself: “Would the Chinese destroy their entire economy for a few cases of a common flu?”
I have a huge aloe vera plant. Literaly Huge.
The sad part is
Who is gonna use
All This damn Sanitizer?

It all smells like
Cat Piss!
Out of curiosity, I checked out a Kroger and CVS a couple of hours ago. Shelves are full - plenty of hand sanitizer, TP, milk, bread etc.
Here's what mine will be, accompanied by lamentations of many women.
Where’s the Oat Milk?
Hah! Great movie!
Laz, did you take a new screen name?
Isopropyl alcohol and paper towels. No mixing No fuss. No muss
Lol
Lol
Is it hoarded in being prepared and thus responsible? I can pretty Mich guarantee the guv’s been buying up major quantities similarly.
LOL Grew up without hand sanitizer, we washed our hands with soap and water, funny, I’m still alive!!!
No self respecting Kentuckian would buy Oat Milk....
anyone know of a good reliable brand for those oxygen finger testers. had been thinking of getting one anyway. Seems like a good thing to have. I don’t want to spend $200 for one, though.
