It's like breathing in a shot when I clean my hands with it in the car and then take off my mask.
Think I will stick to whatever local distillers crank out.
It's fun having my hands smell like flavored vodka or bourbon.

It is a new pandemic game. "name the alcoholic beverage your hand sanitzer is made from"
Journalists, activists, guards, prisoners... sounds like a good start.
LAMO, praising a tiny wealthy island country as if it's performed a miracle is ridiculous... The media used to hold out Germany as the gold standard for suppressing COVID -- it doesn't do that anymore for obvious reasons. The media loves its narratives.
they havent had a covid death since September. Holding concerts and ball games like its nothing.
Of course we have to praise New Zealand, Jen

What did they do that was so special to contain it? You don't even know.
Ok, ok... small. It's not big. It has a population of 5 million.

They closed all entry points to their country and shut down the entire country for the 1st 4 months to start with. A real shutdown. As in NOONE can leave their house
As soon as theres a small outbreak they also completely shutdown on a whim. Until it is controlled and traced.

The county, which is in the northeast corner of Georgia, opened schools for in-person learning in the fall. Elbert County officials explained to the Atlanta Journal Cons ution that many local students lack internet required for remote learning, and some rely on schools for food. The teachers are “seeing it, they’re facing it every day, a lot of times with 20 kids in their classroom,” Elbert County School District superintendent Jon Jarvis told the Atlanta Journal Cons ution earlier this week.
But yesterday, Elbert County got word from the Georgia Department of Public Health that it would be punished for flouting the guidelines. The state plans to suspend all vaccine shipments to Elbert County for six months. According to Georgia DPH spokesperson Nancy Nydam, the state will not resume shipments to Elbert County until late July.“I think it’s really important that we stop punishing groups or individuals for vaccinating those outside state or [national] COVID-19 vaccination guidelines.”

The strains that have emerged from South Africa, Brazil and the United Kingdom present a mammoth challenge, said University of Minnesota infectious disease expert Michael Osterholm, who also advised Biden on the pandemic during the transition. "This is, to me, one of the most humbling moments in my scientific career of 45 years. I am certain I know less about SARS-CoV-2 today than I did six months ago. The more I learn, the less I know," he said.
*the private sector will save us*
All part of the scam. Don't get too emotional over it.

Youre adorable
How Trash's sycophants MISmanaged the CDC
What went wrong with America’s $44 million vaccine data system?
The CDC ordered software that was meant to manage the vaccine rollout. Instead, it has been plagued by problems and abandoned by most states.
$44 million website called VAMS—the Vaccine Administration Management System, built by the consulting firm Deloitte.
it was supposed to be a one-stop shop where employers, state officials, clinics, and individuals could manage scheduling, inventory, and reporting for covid shots—and free for anyone to use.
the system has badly hurt their immunization efforts so far.
Faced with a string of problems and bugs, several states, including South Carolina, are choosing to hack together their own solutions, or pay for private systems instead.
In May, it gave the task to consulting company Deloitte,
a huge federal contractor, with a $16 million no-bid contract to manage “covid-19 vaccine distribution and administration tracking.”
In December, Deloitte snagged another $28 million for the project, again with no compe ion.
The contract specifies that the award could go as high as $32 million, leaving taxpayers with a bill between $44 and $48 million.
in Florida, where counties aredesperately scheduling clinic visits on the website Eventbrite, more commonly used for concerts and conferences.
Several states that have been using VAMS are backing away.
“VAMS is fussy. There’s days when VAMS works, and days when VAMS doesn’t work,”
“It won’t work on Internet Explorer; it only works in Chrome.
Deloitte has a long history of making malfunctioning things for state and federal governments:
most recently, it was in the news for charging states hundreds of millions of dollars for unemployment websites that did not work.
the more you unpeel the onion of why all government systems suck, the more you realize it’s the procurement process,”
America’s heavily privatized medical system was held together by duct tape and bubble gum long beforethe biggest public health crisis of our lifetimes.
“The health-care software industry is enormous, and it exists largely because it’s privatized, it’s not standardized,” says Stone.
“There are a lot of free-market inefficiencies.
And the country doesn’t have a public health infrastructure, so there isn’t any real drive to fix it.”

America is a failed country, many thanks to Capitalism enriching itself while not providing "the perfect solution"
