My CEO has been pinging me since late last week trying to get me to make some home made hand sanitizer for personal use since I run manufacturing. I told him everything used to make it is currently on back order as every manufacturer out there is buying it up to replenish the inventory.
He replied an hour ago by text and asked “Can’t we just use grain alcohol?”
I replied “No, it has to be isopropyl alcohol at at least 60% to kill the virus. Ethanol doesn’t really work.”
He replied “What’s the difference? Both are alcohol!”
I replied “Think of it this way, you can drink ethanol and it might make you happy...but if you drink isopropyl alcohol it will make you dead. Same applies to the virus.”
After about 20 mins he replied “OK, I think I get it.”
Dumbass.
