Where is the rubbing alcohol?
So did the manufacturers just say hey there is a high demand for this, lets stop making it all together?
It hasn't seemed to to have been re stocked anywhere for a month now.
Same with thermometers. It is insane.

I still got a quarter bottle of ISO, I just use it to clean my glasses, I think its the same stuff they give out at optometrists, maybe go buy a pair of glasses and get a free bottle of alcohol

It is stupid isn't it? The shit's just gone. I haven't seen wipes or sanitizer or fuckin rubbing alcohol since mid-March. Now it's like more rare than gold or some shit.
The other day on the neighbors app some lady and her family in my area ran out of toilet paper and went to store after store and couldn't find a single roll.
It's absurd. If people just bought normally like they always did everything would be fine but instead fuckers have to hoard everything they can because they think it's the apocalypse and that clorox wipes, toilet paper rolls and a bunch of $2 bottles of hand sanitizer will save them from certain death.

Yeah that's what I've read as well. I have not decided what I'm really going to do with it yet.

I payed 15 dollars for a bottle of aerosol disinfectant off of ebay the other day. Probably from some hoarding asshole.
There's still some other stuff left on there btw, might be worth a look.

A family friend dropped off a bottle of hand sanitizer today, free of charge! I never thought I'd be so grateful for something I ordinarily wouldn't even think about purchasing. Now I have a little added protection for work.
Oh -- and I am willing to part with my bottle of hand sanitizer. We'll start the bid at $50.

my stepdad is really allergic to poison ivy, one year it went into his blood stream and he turned red and bumpy, my theory why it happened is cause he was using gasoline to wash it off his hands, I think it mixed into the gasoline and absorbed through his skin

Gasoline damages your skin, so while it does wash the poison ivy oils it opens up more areas for it to get into your skin. Alcohol will cut the oils without damaging your skin.

i been using hydrogen peroxide mostly, since i had stocked up on it when the alchohol first started disappearing from the shelves. Now i got chemical burns on my finger tips and toes. You gotta rinse that shit off after allowing it to do its thing 
Supposedly it takes about a minute to effectively kill viruses. I've been finding it easier to put it in a spray bottle for the grocery unpacking process, rather than trying to wipe everything down with peroxide rags. Last i checked on Amazon the only available peroxide was going for $15 for a 32 oz bottle which usually sells for 88 cents at walmart...goddamn greedy scum fuck rat bastards 
I scored a bottle of 91% alchohol at my local CVS yesterday tho, which i'll be diluting to 70%. They seem to have items like kleenex and alchohol arriving in the store sporadically.

I've got a few litres of 90% denatured ethanol, but just maybe 100ml left of BP grade.
I haven't started freaking out and spraying all my stuff yet... I'm out in the bush and there's no cases near me. Dunno if I'll need to get to full decontamination procedures before this thing plays out.

I don't want the alcohol for the virus I want it for practical real world uses, we're all gonna catch it eventually. I already caught it and recovered, it was mild and was more mild than most common colds, I just sometimes felt a little something when I breathed in on rare occasion and since I knew I had the virus it scared me but other than the irrational fear since I wasn't even that sick from it it wasn't that bad. The worst part was 4 hours of 100.8 fever with 4 hours of body aches. Other than that there were only 3 days where it broke 100 and barely. Most days it was 99.6 at its peak.
If you are healthy and young, take vitamins while you think or know you have it, you'll be fine. Corona Viruses are literally common colds, this one just attacks a lot more shit in your body than normal, likely modified in a lab near Wuhan that escaped but at its core it was still a common cold.
Now I am full of anti bodies or I should be at least so now I in theory am immune. That's what you want.

I try not to pay attention to the panic buying. I didn't think I would have to worry about buying iso alcohol. I have about half a bottle of 91% I've been diluting to 70%. Hopefully it lasts until all the panic buyers are done and supply is stabilized.

Check grow shops. I just bought 5 gallons of 100% isopropyl for $135. I'll dilute it down to 70:30 for mycology and won't have to buy more for a few years.

I tried to buy 90% BP grade ethanol last week, no where to be found. Not a drop.
I saw one bottle on eBay going on auction at over $400 with days left, normally I pay $30 for that... Lol. I don't know what magic people think that liquid posesses. You can buy a cheap still and make your own for cheaper than that.
