I have some, I can let it go for $25 a bottle. SBAF Friends discount :P

TFW you got them for $3 before everyone panicked

TFW you're Adrian Monk and you're f'ing VINDICATED.

Shhhhhhh, here's a little secret. Go to the liquor store and get a bottle of 190 proof Everclear, it's cheap, then add to a mini travel spritzer/shampoo bottle bought at Walmart/Amazon, and maybe for good measure add a little bit of Aloe Vera gel from the sunscreen section...

Isn't Isopropyl alcohol even cheaper?

And one can make up a weaker mixture for cleaning the vinyl too.

Isopropyl is sold out everywhere.

You could try Bath & Body Works. My girls like the little fancy smelling hand sanitizers there. We bought a bunch a couple of weeks ago.

Such a time where its cheaper to get a bottle of Everclear to disinfect yourself than to actually buy hand sanitizer.

*Get Pulled Over*

Cop: Sir, I am detecting a smell of alcohol coming from the vehicle.
Me: I ran out of hand sanitier so I am using Everclear to wash my hands

Wonder if that would work.

Yeah it's getting really ridiculous. The scalpers for hand sanitizer are deplorable. I've seen masks go to ~$10 each on amazon too.

You can actually make your own homemade hand sanitizer with isopropyl alcohol, so long as your mix is >50%. Add some aloe vera to reduce drying out. The costcos and other stores around my parents' place were all sold out, so that's what they did.

@JK47 190 proof Everclear with a little bit of Aloe Vera was my go to drink in college. Good Times... probably.

Guys make sure to gargle with bleach at night for maximum protection

@pure5152 Here in OC as I mentioned earlier, it's completely sold out of isopropyl alcohol.

Dollar general on the corner is fully stocked with hand sanitizer, etc. I am in BFE though.

Rip yeah sorry, I just noticed your earlier comment @JK47. I think my dad was using an old isopropyl alcohol gallon jug he had in the cupboards... my bad.

Southern California we been going through buying out the facemasks, hand sanitizer, gloves, cup noodles, bottle water, toilet paper. Good time for Costco stock holders.

PGA is probably cheaper at the liquor store.

liquid soap in a small plastic bottle 25 cents and water is free in most restrooms. diy stuff like “natural” products such as witch hazel don’t kill germs much at all. Best to use soap and rinse well.

IIRC, and its getting harder and harder to separate myth from fact, soap and water doesn't kill viruses, but it washes them away.

Actually, soap does kill coronaviruses. https://twitter.com/KarenFlemingPhD/status/1233451607385202688

OK. Thanks for that info.

I'm getting a cold. Paranoid that everyone will think I have this virus, especially as a white guy around here, to strangers, might look like a tourist.

So South Africa has our first case. Originated in Durban, where I just was on business with a colleague who is now down with a fever and cough. I'm going to take a large prophylactic dose of Whisky and call in sick tomorrow as any responsible adult would ;).
