After a Duer suggested searching distillery companies that have recently started making large hand sanitizer supplies for hospitals, workplaces and also to sell to individuals, I looked into it today.

*I haven't ordered any products so far so I can't vouch for any particular items.

Here's an article with a list of diverse products I noticed, from basic to more upscale items:

1. I was at a Safeway grocery store in the Bay Area on Thursday

They had tons of different hand sanitizers. They were a bit on the expensive side (something like $9.99 for a large bottle, but I didn't catch the size). But there were a lot, which made me think that things are slowly coming around.

2. Glad to hear that, enterprising people working on a

much needed demand. I like Safeway, have exhausted the local drugstores, so I'll inquire. Thanks!

3. I shared a gallon of this with a friend. It's from a distillery here in Chicago:

$45 for a gallon of WHO approved sanitizer spray. I'm using it a lot because I'm in my car a lot going house to house as a hospice nurse. But, will probably share my half gallon with someone else. It's a lot.

If you get like 5 people to split a gallon you probably would have plenty for a while and it' would be cheap

4. Great service for Chicago area folks, thanks again.

5. You only need hand sanitizer if you're away fro soap and water.

Soap and water are actually more effective than the sanitizers. I keep a small pump bottle of it in my car to use when I'm out. But use soap and water whenever I can.

6. When I'm out I like to have hand sanitizer

with me while walking or working outside in the garden and not near a sink.

Soap and water are still the best for hand washing esp. at home.

But to go out for errands for two hours and think that I would never touch my face, get a scratch or have to use a public bathroom and wait to wash at home is unrealistic, for me.

Same for using public building doors, store carts, gas pumps and more.
