CVS, Walgreens, walmart, rite-aid, etc all sold out of iso alcohol. I found a few small bottles at 7-11. I can probably order online but I needed it now. I was lucky to find latex gloves.
You guys seeing the same thing or having issues getting supplies for your cult?

Nuh uh, but im in a more rural area. Maybe try looking online at different walmarts somewhat close to you to see if its in stock then take a little drive
Or even order it online for yours for in store pickup. Usually there within a day or two and youd have what you need saved so it cant just be taken again haha

If I get the coronavirus i'm taking a hero's dosage of shrooms, I'll take one for the team and see if it is an effective cure.

Yeah, I live in Brooklyn and walked into a Duane Reade near me the other day, and asked what aisle the alcohol was in. I was looking for 91%, but for sterilizing for the Pf Tek I am in the middle of, I would have settled for 70%. The clerk told me they were all out. I was like, what? WTF? She said it was because of the Corona virus. I went across the street to CVS and they had like three 16 ounce bottles of 91% and one spray bottle of 91%, so I bought them all. The cashier gave me a quizzical look, thinking I was gearing up for some absurd attempt to protect against a virus that, to be quite honest, isn't even on my radar, since I was buying the IPA for mushroom growing. But seeing that they all thought I was buying into the Corona hysteria, I decided to run with it, and made some wise-crack about trying to buy a Hazmat suit while I was paying, to the gasps of all the other patrons online as well as the cashiers who overheard me.
The crazy thing is that I was making fun of the absurd paranoia possessing this country regarding this disease, but there were some people there, I could just tell, actually thought I was onto something.

Heads up. 70 is better for Sterilization. Just dilute it with distilled water.

Yes, can attest to the same experience (in Seattle).
Of course I didn't realize I was down to the last 1/4 of my 70% ISO bottle, when this whole thing started. Damn yuppies, hypochondriacs, and propaganda folk went crazy and it's nowhere to be found.
Don't they know I have agar to transfer and a SAB to sanitize?! 
Was able to order some on Ebay, but local stores are cleaned the F- out.

I hinted that this was going to happen in the cult gen discussion thread me and I think it was RandolfhtheGrey were talking about the ISO and how the last batch I got was fucked and smelled like burned ass. O was saying how Walmart had it on display and the quality was shit like they could barely keep up with demand. Crazy ass people. I was on Craiglist yesterday and people are reselling purell and face masks at mark up. Assholes.

For coronavirus nearly everyone buys medical grade ethanol and isopropanol. If you're careful to minimize skin contact and inhalation of fumes you can use isopropanol or denatured ethanol from hardware or automotive stores for sterilization. Don't use pure methanol. In addition to the cleaning grades of industrial alcohols one can find small overpriced bottles of isopropanol fuel additive in automotive and hardware stores. Again, don't get the more common methanol kind. When you find a prospective product type the brand name, product name, and 'SDS' into google and read the Safety Data Sheet for that precise product, if should give some fair indication of it's composition in the composition section. If it's mostly ethanol or isopropanol your good. If its less than 30% water you can add some water to bring it to 30% water. There may be a significant amount of stuff like methanol or MIBK as denaturants, particularly if its an ethanol based blend. This is why its important to minimize inhalation and skin contact more than usual.
At the very worst you can switch to bleach that has been diluted to 1/4 strength within the last week or as low as 1/10th strength that day. Don't let more than trace amounts of bleach and alcohols mix.
This is why I make sure I'm stocked up on alcohols at the beginning of every years flu season
