I don’t know if it’s ethanol or isopropanol in hand sanitizers? But neat isopropanol is easily obtainable (I have a large bottle myself bought for non-medical reasons). I also happen to have (again for non-medical reasons) about 20 litres of vinegar which is very fungicidal and I expect bactericidal etc at 6% but I don’t know that. I do know you wouldn’t want to expose your hands to it for a long time because it will raise large blisters in my experience .
I'm sorted anyway:
Try standing a bit nearer to the razor. That fuzz has just got to be paradise for Covid 19 ...........
Just seen on facebook, the band I am seeing in London next month has just had to cancel their Japanese tour because of the virus.
I do hope it doesn't come to that over here, but I suspect that it may come to a point where the bands aren't going to want to fly, let alone gigs and other events are going to get cancelled to stop large gatherings.
Your antivirus is out-datedI'm sorted anyway:
Been wondering about that too, couple of my favourite bands are playing a double bill at the O2 early next month.
Popular brands like Carex use ethanol. The risk of a random home-made formula is that it might do more harm than good, potentially compromising your skin - anything that causes blisters can't be good!I don’t know if it’s ethanol or isopropanol in hand sanitizers?

It's not the worry of catching anything, it's the fact the gigs might get cancelled, voluntarily or banned until the virus is under control.You currently stand more chance of dying/getting seriously ill from an accident/incident on route to watch them than dying of coronavirus caught whilst watching them - can't believe the panic this is causing TBH.
Actually not quite, rubbing alcohol isn’t 100% and contains, I think, glycerol or similar, so for cleaning it’s best to use the neat stuff.Isopropyl/isopropanol/rubbing alcohol - all the same thing. I use it as a cleaner, but store it outdoors. It is verging on being explosive so it requires careful handling & storage.
As someone has provided a link. I think your'll find that its all trueDo we..?..... Do you have a photo of one..? ..I’m intrigued. I suspect I’m missing a trick here
...anything that causes blisters can't be good!
Going back many years when I worked in a clean environment, after the requisite entry shower we dipped our hands in a 70% solution of IMSActually not quite, rubbing alcohol isn’t 100% and contains, I think, glycerol or similar, so for cleaning it’s best to use the neat stuff.
Yes, I avoided mentioning meths in case it gave anyone ideas in view of the dangers of drinking. Although I used to use copious amounts of IMS we also used a lot of Absolute Alcohol ... .Going back many years when I worked in a clean environment, after the requisite entry shower we dipped our hands in a 70% solution of IMS
(Industrial Methylated Spirit)
That and a few other precautions kept the integrity of the barrier intact.
Tastes like crap anyway .....Yes, I avoided mentioning meths in case it gave anyone ideas in view of the dangers of drinking.
Looks like Genesis are taking a HUGE risk, given the demographic of their fansJust seen on facebook, the band I am seeing in London next month has just had to cancel their Japanese tour because of the virus.

Sorry Jon, didn't know your missus was poorly.
Just been in Boots to get a couple of unrelated bits, fair few people mainly oldies asking for the gel stuff
Sold out apparently and sign saying if available limit of two per person.
World gone mad!!
I'm sure a lot of stuff has changed over the years, this was early 70's - 80'sFWIW isopropyl alcohol has replaced industrial methylated alcohol for regular lab use as a sanitiser.

It's ok, we saw them last year.It`s gone Airborne
400 yds from me, so that's pretty damn close.Getting closer, Manchester Liverpool Bolton.

Well I will be watching Outbreak later
We'll all be in it....Gonna watch 28 Days later.
I can see it has its uses if you cannot find a place to wash your hands........ for example after having visited a supermarket or shopping centre & before getting into your car & potentially 'contaminating' the car? I might consider it (if I had any) before getting into my car after pushing a shopping trolley full of groceries to the car, unloading & returning the trolley to the trolley parkOn a general point, it’s amazing the lengths people will go to avoid using the recommended soap and water. I think ‘hand sanitizer, which kills all known germs’ is seen as having magical properties .
