Re: Thus is ridiculous. Gone too far! Diabetes Patients cannot Find rubbing alcohol due to COVID-19
This feels like war time. Shortages. Next is rationing?

I want to celebrate America, but not for its shortages. Anyone else out there not able to find rubbing alcohol?

Re: Thus is ridiculous. Gone too far! Diabetes Patients cannot Find rubbing alcohol due to COVID-19
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.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 78257315


They sure had no supply disruption to stock every store on the continent with plexiglass barriers.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 10030564


Yeah I was wondering about that. They were hawking that shit for $20 a square foot before the covid shit now all of the sudden you can't walk 10 feet without bumping into a wall of it.

When this shit is over I'm going to buy it all up and make a greenhouse out of it - something you couldn't have afforded to do last year.


NEW CONSPIRACY THEORY:

Covid19 is a plot to move overpriced, overstocked plexiglass.

This cannot be happening in America, folks. Why can we not find isopropyl alcohol? Diabetic relatives need it to clean supplies. Why can't TPTB get to the bottom of these ridiculous shortages? This has to stop!

Vodka often isn't high enough proof. However, a little bird told me if you put salt in your vodka, a purer version will float to the top and separate. And it did work the first time I did it. The second time I did it, I waited too long to siphon it off and it evaporated because it was too pure.

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.

Multiple times people have been warned over the past two-3 years to stock up on food , med supplies, ammo , etc.
Not sure what else to say. Ever clear as already mentioned make a good sub as it is 75% alcohol. ( Everclear 150)
 Quoting: MKPitBull


There is a long-running prep thread and it even covers preps for those with little money. How many complainers here have been involved in reading that thread and understanding what is necessary? None, or darn few. You have, MK, and we are grateful for you.

Somebody apparently called needing alcohol medically "entitlement"? Wish I'd been here in time to have a go at him/her. Such stupidity. That's one that really does not have any understanding of reality and goes off half-cocked. It's almost funny that anybody could have developed that mindset when reality is all around them.

People, you need to be prepped for almost any eventuality, and if you are not, do not think you will come and take the goods from people who did have the sense to be prepared. You will find less than a warm welcome, and yes, this is a warning - a suggestion that you start taking care of yourselves right now, like all mature and sensible people.

I'm sorry alcohol is hard to find - I have only one bottle myself and it was the last bottle on the shelf of my pharmacy. Use the substitutes suggested, and meanwhile keep looking everywhere. Ask Irl friends in other towns to be looking, as well, and get together with them, meet halfway, or send them postage to mail it. There are ways, but won't be for much longer. Prep, people. Darn it, PREP!!!

The Meijers by me has bleach and TP and so forth... but still no 70% alcohol. Or 90% for that matter.

They have peroxide though.

So... WHY NO RUBBING ALCOHOL?

Is it being shipped off-word via:


:strgte7:


PS-

A couple weeks ago they DID have an endcap near the pharmacy section half full of off brand gallon sized jugs of 70%. I should have grabbed one when I had the chance. All gone, no restock.

Same thing here. Though I see it as an opening for anyone motivated.

In Australia retailers charge $20 for 250 ml 99.8 isopropyl.

Chemical suppliers sell 20L drums for $99.

Cheap plastic bottle in bulk are a dime a dozen.

Do the math.

Some of the cruelty here is unbelievable. People thinking diabetics just need to die - dear heaven! You could end up with diabetes yourselves, you arrogant insulters!

Diabetes would be a horrible disease to have, especially in current world conditions, and they deserve decent treatment, just like the rest of us. Shame on you!!

Re: Thus is ridiculous. Gone too far! Diabetes Patients cannot Find rubbing alcohol due to COVID-19
COVID is a political tool.

Yeh, sickness, and death are real, but political tools are invented.

Just like "Racist" and "Racism".

Hatred is real, Hate needs no other definition or words, it is the real deal. It is an emotion.

Racist and Racism are invented words for white people to use against other white people in a political war over control.

Now a foreign virus is used to pit one against another. Like the invented words, intended to form control.

A fair move by China in terms of war, but in the end, I believe free people will prevail.
