'tain't going to work. All the advice is that 60% alcohol content is
needed

But, of course, you only need the alcohol if you haven't got running
water available to wash your hands. The gel is sufficiently unpleasant
that it is best to wash your hands as soon as possible to remove the
residue.

Yes, I'd taken Brian's comment as referring to a home-made hand wash when
out of the home.
On a recent shopping trip I was conscious of all the things that had to
be touched, ending with the car door and steering wheel. Unless we start
wearing surgical gloves it's hard to see how gels and hand washing will
make much difference unless everyone does it ... and many people won't. I
was surprised that a young junior doctor friend said that they were not
changing anything about the way they act. To quote an old TV character,
with a Scots accent: "we're doomed!"


No, only some of us. Eg I think there's a very good chance indeed that
Adam and John will be left to agree between themselves who turns out the
lights.


Very unlikely to be Adam given that he will **** anything that isnt actually
dead.

While he does use condoms, that wont help with this virus.
