The re entry period for area of application was 8 hours...one of the reasons it was pulled from retail.
Do not know if it can still be found in the commercial market.
I used it in my offices and waiting room once a week back then.
As Petyr Baelish said: “Chaos is a ladder.”
None of the government’s business what a seller charges for their goods & services (unless that entity is a monopolistic regulated Public Utility.).
(but then, Baelish did end up with his throat slit by the little sister of a dissatisfied customer, so there is that downside of being a cutthroat profiteer.... sometimes you are a cutthroat profiteer, sometimes you meet someone with a sharper knife.)
I bet Cuomo and Wilhelm won’t go after the hospitals when they raise their prices when the stuff they need to treat coronavirus patients becomes rarer and rarer.
In southcentral Pennsylvania the Rutters' convenience stores spiked the price of gas by 50 cents/gallon on 9/11/01.
Haven't bought gas there again--EVER!
Some patriots ran toward the burning building and gave their all.
Other scumbags seized an opportunity to take a profit.
NEVER FORGET ping!
Morons. Prices are the right way to have supply keep up with demand and keep people from buying more than they need.
I guess Cuomo and DeBlasio didn’t get their cut of the raised prices.
Try Dollar Tree stores and similarly named ones (Dollar General, Dollar Store, etc). I got some there at very low prices.
Rubbing alcohol is tough to find in the Dallas area. Prices are going up on eBay.
An anomaly...?
Got mine a few days ago for one dollar each at one of those stores. But the 11 oz bottle was an off brand. The mixture looks so simple I don’t think brand quality matters much.
So true
Buy when blood is running in the streets.
Only my wife can steal 850 million and get away with it
One aspect that is ignored in these stories is the REPLACEMENT COST for the merchant selling the goods. Even if he paid $1 for bottles of cleanser, if he’ll have to pay $4 each to replace them, why not let him charge that?
That is the logic used with gas prices; the price paid for the fuel stored in the tanks (and being sold) is not the only consideration of the owner - he has to anticipate how much it will cost to refill those tanks.
Raising prices in times of high demand and low supply is wise and in reality is the law.
The media hype for this disease is scaring people into panic buying. So when they find hand sanitizer at $4 a bottle, they buy 20 bottles, a 3X lifetime supply. Since there were only 25 bottles on the shelf, the next guy buys them and everyone else gets nothing. The greedy consigned the late to a painful death due to lack of hand sanitizer.
However, if the wise store owner raises the price to $10, buyer one quells the panic and buys 2 bottles, as does buyer 2. Thus saving lives.
Lesson in economics 101 is over Comrade Bill
And you have absolutely no idea how retail actually works
A bargain compared to what NYers could have got them for on Amazon at this point.
Ironically, the reason they can price gouge is because of all the knee-jerk folks trying to ‘corner the market” by buying up years worth of product “just in case”
Masks are only really effective when worn by a sick person and well people 9I use the term loosely) have bought up the supplies so they aren’t available for those who it would be most beneficial for them to be wearing...a sick person can reduce odds of transmission though coughs and sneezes by about 90% - a well person can reduce his chances of getting it from a cough or sneeze by about 10%...
Medical staff wears them during certain periods to keep from infecting patients and each other if something is running around - not to prevent getting something.
Some wretch also killed DDT back in Nixon days thank you very much.
