People are panic buying all anti-bacterial gels rather than those with at least 60% alcohol in response to Covid-19 which is a virus? Good grief! [bbc.com]

Some bacteria are much harder to kill than enveloped viruses. Bacteria in general are not generally easier to get rid of. However, that some sneaks will sell sanitizers with low alcohol content should not surprise us in an age where selling the absolute minimum to obtain profits is common.

Read labels. Look for that 60%.

Very silly. Firstly the virus is nowhere near its peak yet, when you may need to stock up with things if you are to self isolate. And secondly, with regard to hand gels especially, common soap is actually more deadly to the virus anyway.

Yes, the addiction to the belief that because it is high tech, it must be better.

On a personal note, I use a pencil-and-paper diary rather any electronic equivalent.

@anglophone Yes me too. You don't need to switch it on when you need to refer to it, it can't crash, and it can't be damaged by hackers etc. A no brainer.
