That's exactly what I mean, alcohol hand gel doesn't seem like it will help much.

Not serious, we did have baby wipes in my house.

BBC News - Coronavirus: The fake health advice you should ignore

@hugo7 see number 3:

Professor Sally Bloomfield, at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, says she does not believe you could make an effective product for sanitising hands at home - even vodka only contains 40% alcohol.

A challenge if ever there were

I just checked and Morrison's delivery is same as normal, I can get it tomorrow night for £2. If this gets serious Ocado customers will die first.

If the country runs out of toilet paper, the Metro and Evening Standard will still be available, failing that, the Daily Mail.

Toilet roll? Amateurs

I'm off out for some coconut matting before the rush starts.

Bog roll? I’ve got a bidet in my loo. Best thing evah.

People that used bog roll but then never washed hands before, they will go back to not washing hands as soon as the news stops telling them to wash hands.

Why would you use Vodka? Just use isopropyl alcohol at 99% mixed down to around 70% with glycerin, aloe vera gel or just water in a pinch. Like it says in the sentence before your quote.

How do people manage the hand washing on the tube, in the supermarket or generally out and
about amongst people? I don't understand the arguments soap vs. sanitizer. You are not going to use the sanitizer instead of hand washing at home are you? It should be in addition
to hand washing in situations where there is no soap and water available.

Don’t forget also you only need cold water (if you like skin on your hands), Saves firing the boiler up time and again if your washing hams more at home.

Hands, not hams. Unless you’ve panic bought ham and need to wash it of course.

The folly of trying to keep hands clean in public without contactless taps etc... Turn on taps, wash hands, turn off tap and get hands dirty again. Dry hands, open dirty lock/door handle (s). Sanitiser has its place even if not ideal.

I work on the tube, heard a rumour this morning that a driver on the jubilee line was sent off to Hospital and a deep clean is taking place at his depot (Wembley park ). The rumour came from one of our reps who is considered to be hardworking and reliable. If I hear anything else I will pass it on...........

Dark times for the suburban middle class.

Just popped to my local Waitrose for eggs.

Everybody other person in there had at least two family packs of Andrex in their trolley.

The suburban middle class has a strong survival instinct.

On the evening of 7 March, minutes before the building came down, the owner was reportedly told by construction workers that a pillar on the first floor had been damaged, according to Xinhua news agency.

Awful news. Sounds like maybe the building was being used before renovations had finished? Although, people are not a significant load so unlikely to have caused collapse.

Sainsbury in putney is clear in only half of the TP... I'm wondering how it's the expensive triple ply.

Will isopropyl alcohol kill Covid? I’ve got 5l for cleaning disc rotors.

Lega lombarda must be so happy.

Also is it a quarantine if flights are still leaving airports?

Apparently

Have we had this already? I’m stocking up on seashells.

Preparing for a split site scenario at work next week.

Iceland seems Ok for toilet paper and sanitiser.

All of the Scandinavian countries will be sorted, it's a cultural thing.
