I'm glad that there doesn't seem to be panic around here. I think people are concerned. Looks like people may be trying to take measures to be prepared. Hand sanitizer is in short supply in the stores I have been in. The local paper said n-95 masks are pretty much out of stock. I have been trying to get a stock of non perishable food in case we can't get out for a couple of weeks. If things get worse than that I'm not sure what we will do.

I saw two different things about warm weather.
1) I read that there have been cases in Australia and Brazil which are at the end of their summer.
2) I saw a speculation that the outbreak would be much less along the equator because people get so much sun that their bodies are making plenty of vitamin D.

All it takes is for you to report an offending post so the mods can deal with it rather than replying to it, adding to the job of the mods to remove not only the offending posts, but your replies, quotes, etc... of each other. Do us a favor and report posts rather than replying to them and pouring gas on the fire.

So now you want me to be a forum moderator? I love how you guys always skip past the inflammatory posts and single me out for responding. Twice in the past two weeks I have reported a member who's signature line is 100% political and is only meant to p*ss off other members. Guess what? It hasn't changed. So, when you decide to play by the rules you want me to play by I will be happy to help.

I try to avoid hand sanitizer, preferring to use soap and water. But here is a recipe to make your own, Make Your Own Hand Sanitizer - Clean My Space
with two items I keep on hand. My aloe doesn’t come from a store though, and needs to be repotted anyways.

I wondered about alcohol based hand sanitizer. I seen to remember hearing that it wasn't very useful for killing virus. The last I heard recently was to leave it wet on your hands for 15 seconds. They do seem to be empathizing washing hands with soap and water.

Is there any update on whether the Chinese are cooperating and allowing U.S. and other researchers into the location of the initial outbreak?

I saw stories early in the outbreak that they were very protective and secretive to the exclusion of outside medical personnel. But I have not seen any updates since?

My hands dry out enough this time of year, I really don’t need to add alcohol to the mix.

Something else that offers a high rate of transfer and risk are the styluses that are used for CC purchase signatures in stores...

Maybe we will be seeing sanitizer next to card readers in the near future ?
