Hydrogen Peroxide is usually available from hairdressers.
Wood alcohol (Methylated spirit) is NOT effective against the Corona virus. It must be Ethyl alcohol, or isopropyl alcohol.
Our gym has been using a sanitizer with 76% alcohol. They also require members use hand towels and spray them with a diluted bleach solution.
@KKGator I WAS making my own, now I cannot find alcohol here in Ellensburg. I have one 32oz. bottle left. I usally keep 2 on hand. Never thought the hoarders in this town would buy it all up.
@silverotter11 I generally don't use hand sanitizer, the alcohol content is too much for my skin.
I've always been pretty compulsive about washing my hands anyway.
Although, I do have plenty of alcohol and aloe gel on hand, just in case.
@KKGator When I'm out shopping is when I keep hand sanitizer, otherwize like you I wash. The sanitizer is really for summer use, the irrigation water is not for drinking so after working at the garden plot I use it to clean my hands before getting in the car or riding my bike home. A woman accidently drank from the wrong line (there is a city water line with a frost free handle and an irrigation line with a different frostfree, she confused them) and got ecoli .

Last week I could easily tell the trump supporters, they totally were down playing the whole thing and spouting the fox talking points.The clubhouse is now closed totally so I have not seen any of them.
@silverotter11 School has been cancelled for the next two weeks here. I won't be going anywhere for the foreseeable future.
I'm on kid duty.
They're going to be putting lessons online early next week.
I get to do the home-schooling thing.
@KKGator, @JackPedigo Which bleach? Hydrogen Peroxide bleach is more effective in this case than Chlorine bleach.
@KKGator, @JackPedigo, @silverotter11 Full strength moonshine, anyone? There's a market opportunity opening up for illegal stills, just as there was in the speakeasy days!!
@Petter Kittitas County has a long history of moonshine making.
@KKGator, @silverotter11 Great. Take a trip and then flog your product on e-bay.
The reason for the unprepared health infrastructure, the limited number of doctors, nurses and place is in the US is because
(wait for it)
The Trump administration fired the U.S. pandemic response team in 2018 to cut costs.
