Not that I think people here would do such thing, but  "Tito's Begs People Not to Make Hand Sanitizer With Its Vodka From no-sew curtains to reed diffusers, DIYs can be great tools for interior design. For health purposes? Not so much. As the novel coronavirus continues to spread, the demand for hand sanitizer is emptying shelves. So, some people have taken to creating their own. And while we admire the ingenuity, one popular recipe—featuring aloe vera and vodka—is...less than effective. After a recipe featuring Tito's vodka made the rounds on social media this week (admittedly, House Beautiful was among several brands to share it), Tito’s is urging customers not to use its vodka to make homemade hand sanitizer." www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/titos-begs-people-not-hand-222300604.htmlSo where does good old Dettol or methylated spirits stand? Dettol -> Oh, I can smell you're safe? methylated spirits -> don't lick your hands! |

I actually like the smell of Dettol.
It takes me back to my infant years and my Nana washing me in the bath.

I could never understand even as a three year old why they left washing your face until last with the same cloth, after your bum and other bits.

Ticker bar on BBC advising people don't use vodka to clean their hands. I suggest Lhou Khao it's cheaper.

Can anyone state categorically what the fatality rate is from seasonal flu, not the sexy co19 brand, the ordinary common or garden variety?

Probably not. I suspect that in some places they will probably record the cause of death to what suits their figures.
        According to this in the USA about 0.1%. It's right at the bottom of the article. www.livescience.com/new-coronavirus-compare-with-flu.html |

Probably not. I suspect that in some places they will probably record the cause of death to what suits their figures.
The figures for 'seasonal flu' are given as between 12,000 and 61,000 deaths worldwide. That's for a flu for which there's a vaccine. The American CDC estimates for the 2019-2020 season give a mortality rate of 0.095% for the flu in the U.S.. Between 70 and 85% of those are 65 or older. For COVID-19 total cases seems 100,000 with 3,400 deaths. that's 3.4%. Of course the total number of cases may be (much) higher. America has about 200 official cases with 14 deaths, that's 7%. Of course our stable genius knows best. Ask him if you want a more convenient 'truth' "Coronavirus: Trump offers misleading remarks and insults at CDC press conference Trump says he wants cruise ship passengers to stay onboard as US death toll hits 14, with more than 200 infections" www.theguardian.com/world/2020/mar/06/us-coronavirus-death-toll-washington-state |
