Reminds me of a comment I read on Reddit some week ago; the commenter was going from store to store looking for disinfectant for a family member that has a prosthetic and needs to disinfect it daily, lest an infection gets into the wound.

Those tiny square alcohol prep pads (e.g. for diabetics and others who need daily injections) are sold out everywhere. I suspect people who couldn't find hand sanitizer or Clorox just grabbed whatever sanitizing products they could.

I clean stuff with them. I don’t want water and some antibacterial agent, I just want some nice alcohol.

When there is not a pandemic happening you can get 99% isopropyl at a reasonable cost. Its great for cleaning electronics and lots of other things.
