There was a lady on the radio today saying you can make you own hand sanitizer by mixing hand cream with a little gin or vodka.

Do you think that'll work with beer?
The alcohol-based hand sanitisers are to stop the virus getting into your mouth from your hands. I say cut out the middle man and apply the alcohol directly to the mouth. You know it makes sense! :td:

Mouth, nose and eyes. I'd advise against directly applying alcohol to your eyes.

This so true:

Reporting on coronavirus: 'fear is almost as great a threat as the disease'
Writers from China, Italy and the UK explain how we are cooperating to produce measured reporting on a global crisis

Fear of the coronavirus is almost as great a threat as Covid-19 itself, the disease it causes. The World Health Organization’s director general, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, has talked of combating the “infodemic” alongside the epidemic. The public panic is such that social media is alight with speculation, while newspaper websites run stories with sensational headlines because they attract unprecedented traffic.
A infodemic and fake news. Today's press.

What is the panic buying for? Really pathetic and greedy.

Drinking whilst wearing a scuba mask might be the solution.

Well, John Bolton was head of the NSC at the time and did the actual deed, and as we all know now, Trump barely knew the guy. :lol:

:yes:
The latest fad is a poverty social. Every woman must wear calico,
and every man his old clothes. In addition each is fined 25 cents if
he or she does not have a patch on his or her clothing. If these
parties become a regular thing, says an exchange, won't there be
a good chance for newspaper men to shine?

Stinky poo !

The prime minister just announce that from midnight, all non indispensable commercial locations will be closed.
No more cafés or restaurants.
Food seller, banks, pharmacists and a few others will remain open.
