CDC sez first choice is soap and water =>

Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially after going to the bathroom; before eating; and after blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing.
If soap and water are not readily available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol.

Not enough. 40% alcohol. Barcardi 151 is perfect. Get blitzed while you clean.

isopropal or ethyl alcohol is really cheap- thats’ the main ingredients in hand sanitizers- just pick up a bottle of aloe vera gel, and mix the two- and you have hand sanitizer- basically-

Does Fairchild commissary sell to the general public? 40% alcohol won’t cut it as viral sanitizer, though.

FYI proof is TWO TIMES the actual percent. 80 proof is 40% ethanol. you need something thats 70% so 140 proof or better.
