ahh ok my mother brought some rubbing alcholol (which hasnt even come) and was wonderinf that would have worked
if you take one bottle of 70% IPA and mix it with an equal amount of water, then you have just created 35% IPA
which is ineffective at neutralizing viruses
@Lil Brit my guess is that what your mother bought is most likely at least 70%
i dont know i know for a fact it was over 60% i presume
I'm sure it's good stuff
Again, I could be wrong about this
But I need to look into it further.
she is using it to make hand santizer for when we go out you get me
yep
heck if im staying indoors i actually have a likely chance of not catching it
the only risk is my mother going shopping and catching it
I'm reading that now
literally i could be the only one in my college to not catch it purely because i aint gunna be there until it all blows over
lol
true
> If soap and water are not available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol.

> Why? Many studies have found that sanitizers with an alcohol concentration between 60–95% are more effective at killing germs than those with a lower alcohol concentration or non-alcohol-based hand sanitizers 16,20. Hand sanitizers without 60-95% alcohol 1) may not work equally well for many types of germs; and 2) merely reduce the growth of germs rather than kill them outright.
They don't specify viruses, only germs.
Anyway, I'll leave it at that for now.
Read the full article shared in her post and tell me it's not anti American
have to do a survey before i can read it
Pasting this here, so I can pin it:
> It has been determined that the virus (SARS-CoV-2) can stay in aerosol (in the air) for up to 3 hours. It also lives up to 4 hours on copper, up to 24 hours on cardboard, and 2 to 3 days on plastic and stainless steel.
