Uhhh…. no, hand sanitizers do NOT work agst viruses… alcohol or no alcohol… viruses lack a cell wall which is why they work on many bacteria. Absolutely correct about the super bug though! Gonna see some big problems in the next ten years when Vanco doesn’t work anymore.

alcohol-based sanitizers are NOT anti-bacterial. generally, you shouldn’t use anti-bacterial soaps or cleaners because the mass use of them has the potential to create the “super bugs” and make you resistant. but alcohol-based hand sanitzers are OK and work.

I think they should put these things out all the time! It could only help…

A word of caution: 1/2 a pump is sufficient; this dispenser is ROBUST

one must drink lots of alcohol to kill the virus

… does kill viruses. Alcohol would be the active ingredient in these gel-based hand sanitizers.

I was unaware that the word “swine” was so offensive.

Whoever took this photo isn’t a Lab Consultant but is using the Lab Consultant station.

That is a no-no in itself, probably worse than harboring the flu virus.
