Hand gel

We've been told that ordinary anti bacterial gel is no protection against this virus. It needs to be alcohol based. I already had a couple of half empty anti bacterial gels so I have topped them up with surgical spirit. I don't know if this will make them effective against Corvid 19, maybe an expert here can tell me.

I have resorted to buying it on eBay but it does not arrive until next week. It is overpriced but the vast majority were. It will not last long because there are only 60 mls in the bottle. I did not want or need 500 mls because I wanted to pop it in my handbag.

Was wondering if anyone has been able to buy any hand gel in the last few weeks. I have some left as I only use it when soap and water isn't available so more curious than needing some. Does everyone pile in and buy it all up as soon as it appears or is it just not getting to the shelves.
