Made my second panic buy yesterday: a small bottle of bleach. Some gas station randomly had 20 bottles of the stuff. Dilute it in a spray bottle and you got redneck hand sanitizer. This was also the first time I ever purchased bleach despite its usefulness washing clothes.
Someone posted up thread a list of FDA approved disinfectants and I saw later the bleach was there. Score.
Take it. Trip report please. Good luck. Quite frankly it’s probably best as an individual to get a mild case and hopefully acquired immunity (unless of course you are worried about vulnerable people if you’ve had contact)
Sadly I don’t think they are testing yet for acquired immunity in the US. I believe they are undertaking a massive screen in China to understand that.
Try pool supply stores for bleach. (Probably called “liquid shock” at the pool store.) Most of them should have started to get ready for the pool season in much of the country.
Even though I was just mean to you in the other thread I don’t want you to get hurt, so, be careful to avoid mixing bleach with alcohol or lysol and ammonium-based cleaners, and when using bleach as a skin sanitizer dilute it A LOT then preferably wash it off with water.
Seriously people, I’m not worried about you properly disinfecting things, I’m worried about you accidentally cooking up some mustard gas.
p.s. Just had a flashback to arguing with HastenDan about while you can make dangerous stuff, you can’t actually macguyver up bombs with household supplies. Which lol, uh, kinda revealed I know a disturbing amount about the topic.
Yes, the bleach will be for surfaces and the like. Alcohol and soap for our hands. I will not be spraying bleach on our toddler. Well, not unless this all goes proper Mad Max, don’t want to rule anything out then.
Edit - Just did a freezer based run. All salmon and frozen veg like a proper middle class type. Still no real panic buying here, scored a shit load of lentil pasta.
Is anyone going to eat our at restaurants or are you already quarantining yourself? I’ve got a dope Asian fusion restaurant at the bottom of my apartment that is really clean, but maybe I’m being foolish.
