Apparently some facility (hospital?) received a ton of hand sanitizer, then saw that the expiration date on the bottles was 2009, so it had to be returned.
Maybe the prisoners are moving the contents to bottles with a different expiration date.
That’s an example of the type of hidebound thinking that Pres. Trump is trying to eliminate it. Hand sanitizers have a very long shelf life if they’re well sealed. Even if some evaporation has occurred, it can be fixed by adding enough alcohol to get to 70%. Whatever regulations or protocols they were following might have made a lot of sense in normal times — in a state of emergency, they can be deadly.

Chicago PD was getting outdated hand sanitizer.
