Re: Thus is ridiculous. Gone too far! Diabetes Patients cannot Find rubbing alcohol due to COVID-19
And this is why you should always be prepared and stocked up. I remember a time, when to be stocked up was normal. If we were close to running out of something like peroxide, rubbing alcohol, other first aid items, canned goods, paper products, etc., we stocked up so we would not run out. Now, the PC police call it hoarding. SMH.

I hear you.

Not just isopropyl alcohol, but for a variety of other merchandise in general.

Some of that is because the world's supply chain has been broken by China and Covid-19, some of it is because of hoarding, some of it is because of qualified truckers either being in short supply or avoiding certain traffic routes. Some retailers probably are also struggling with hard-pressed vendors and paying their bills in time.

Probably a combination of all three.

America (and parts of the Western World too) for over 50 years was in sort of a bubble following WWII. But the dam has burst. Now the floodwaters of SARS-CoV-2, BLM-Antifa, PCC-China leftism and berserk, mean-hearted liberalism in general are swamping the US.

Is Povidone Iodine hard to find as well? They can use that just have to let it dry 2-3 minutes, first.

Buy grain alcohol, but FYI I bought 2 bottles of 70% isopropyl online from Walmart about a month ago. Just checked, out of stock.

Edit: I get Botox every three months and last time the doctor used grain bc not even he could procure isopropyl.

There are places to buy it, but as we knew would happen, it's only for those willing to pay a steep price.

Here's one place that sells multi packs. If it's important to you, maybe share or sell the other bottles, or put them aside for future use.

Re: Thus is ridiculous. Gone too far! Diabetes Patients cannot Find rubbing alcohol due to COVID-19
The needle is sterile. Told to me by a diabetic that filled syringe, injected, and was fine. Over and over. Guess I'd at least wash the skin though.

If it turns out to not be fine, the hospital might be needed. At least they'll have alcohol.
 Quoting: Nine's


I use my syringes until they get dull.. my current ones from Walgreens sometimes last a week but not usually. I don't clean the skin on my belly at all.. unless I spilled something on it.. I don't have fat much on my legs.. so all these 15 to 20 years I have used my belly. I take insulin 4 to 6 times a day.

the needle is only sterile before its first use but I have never had any sort of infection from using it over and over.. I don't change the xxxxx in my finger stabber either until the they gets dull enough to hurt either. I am used to my germs. I have never lost a vial of insulin either from sticking used needles into it.

You see back in my days of high school... and helping a vet.. we just keep it all in the fridge and I still do that for me. I have saved an incredible amount on syringes over the years for Medicare and Medicaid.

I used to years ago have to take ACTH... which is by injection always and same thing... kept it in the fridge and used the same syringe until it was dull then too.

and yea and on Vit B12 shots long ago too. I guess it was 12.. might have been b6.. would have to recheck that one..

I do wash my hands well before testing my sugar.. because they need to not have any glucose on them. Otherwise I wouldn't give a hoot on that one either.

In the hospital between patients .. that is a different story.

It's easy to make alcohol, it's only a little hard to make just ethanol. So anyone could make it from common items. It's rudimentary chemistry.

If a knuckle dragger can make shine, which is exacting, then you can make something to clean with.

We are onto the fourth month of this “threat”. It is hard to understand shortages. My local supermarket has been out of bleach, alcohol for weeks. You would think there is some mechanism through which they could involve local health departments, who, in turn, could alert other government entities to investigate and end them at the source. We’re talking diabetic patients dependent on these supplies.
