Sweden’s unusual approach to fighting the coronavirus pandemic is starting to yield results, according to the country’s top epidemiologist.

Anders Tegnell, the architect behind Sweden’s relatively relaxed response to Covid-19, told local media the latest figures on infection rates and fatalities indicate the situation is starting to stabilize.

“We’re on a sort of plateau,” Tegnell told Swedish news agency TT.

I'm familiar with fart jokes... But fart research and scientific papers?!?! I smell an IgNoble award in the making!

 

But fart research and scientific papers?

 

I have not seen much price gouging except in one case where the store got an off brand rubbing alcohol. The usually store brand is usually less than 3 dollars. The new unheard of before this brand was 10 dollars for the same quantity 32 ounces.

I has a question. Was it the same percentage? Regular isopropanol (rubbing) alcohol comes in various percentages ranging from 70% up to 99% and the pricing varies quite a bit. Just as an example Equate 70% Isopropyl Alcohol, 32 Oz $1.96 at Walmart and Equate 91% Isopropyl Alcohol Antiseptic, 32 fl oz $2.50 and when you start getting to the 99% stuff in small quantities like quarts I have seen it for over $30. Just to make sure it's apples to apples. The price you mentioned for the everyday cheap stuff is outrageous.

Just to be a nitpicker... Rubbing alcohol is a mixture containing 10-30% isopropyl (or denatured ethyl) along with other possible ingredients such a witch hazel, various menthols, mineral oil, glycerin, aloe vera, etc. 70+% isopropyl is not rubbing alcohol except in the common press these days. Alcohol rubs with higher percentages of isopropyl or denatured alcohol were called linaments. The higher percentage of alcohols has some absorptive properties carrying the ingredients into the skin instead of simply evaporative cooling effect.

 

Hey all of you moderators, why is it that things that I said a couple of weeks ago about this and got posts deleted and warned about being political, are now being OK to post??? Many of the things I said then were said this weekend by the "in crowd".

 

I’ve seen Everclear available at my local big box liquor store. 94% purportedly. And Shellac Thinner at Lowe’s 99% ethanol... both readily available while alcohol from CVS, Walmart or Target has been sold out.

UPDATE: originally said 84, but that was a type.

 

They must have changed Everclear since my college days. It used to be 96-98%?, well over 90%. I think I did hear something about the Feds making them cut it back for some reason. The prime ingredient for a trash barrel full of "Purple Jesus" or other such cheap noxious intoxicating concoctions.

Fond memories of going to school in Memphis Tenn where we would toss in grape Koolade and drink the stuff. I owe some of the worst hangovers in my life to it.

The details:
Everclear is a brand name of rectified spirit (also known as grain alcohol and neutral spirit) produced by the American company Luxco (formerly known as the David Sherman Corporation). It is made from grain and is bottled at 120, 151, 189, and 190 U.S. proof (60%, 75.5%, 94.5% and 95% alcohol by volume, respectively).

Not legal for sale here in Ohio but my neighbor's mom lives in South Carolina and when he goes down to visit he always brings me back a jug of mom's home made apple pie. I guess in some states it is legal for sale.

We filled the trash can with EverClear or whatever alcohol we could steal from the chem lab, Red Mountain "wine" and fresh, citrus fruit. Called it "Skip and Go Naked". Dry ice was a nice touch. Again, when we could steal it from the chem lab.

Everclear was the first alcohol I ever drank. Freshman year in college... bathtub in the basement... cheap grape juice... Purple Jesus’!

when we could steal it from the chem lab.

I noticed in Freshman Chemistry that the wash bottles in the lab were marked ethyl alcohol and asked the Professor about it. He said they made their own and that typically gasoline was used to denature it but some idiot would invariably steal some from the lab and try to drink it and damn near die from doing so. So they changed the denaturing agent to the pH indicator phenolphthalein (which is the active ingredient in ExLax). Then instead of almost killing them, it would keep them close to the toilet for about a week while recovering.

 

“Gleek” when someone has over active saliva glands, either when yawning or speaking the tongue presses down on the glands and spit droplets shoot out, some are able to reach distances. So even when speaking with someone they can produce the droplets most people are in-aware, my kids made me aware of it when they were teenagers.

gleek v. to squirt liquid (including saliva) through the teeth or from under the tongue; less commonly, squirting saliva directly from the saliva glands or expelling liquid through the sinuses

Decades later, I worked at a research institute which used very pure ethanol for cleaning optics. We needed a state liquor license to buy it. For several years mine was the name listed on the license. We never had any problem with theft and just kept it in an unlocked flammable materials cabinet. There were no undergraduates around the labs.

 

A few years later in Alabama, I found some in a Microbiology lab. It was in a standard ~400mL reagent bottle and clearly marked "Ethyl Alcohol USP Pharmaceutical Grade". No tax stamps on it from the state. Growing up in a dry county in TN a family friend was a Pharmacist and when going on picnics in State Parks they were clearly marked "No Alcohol". He had a Liter sized clear glass medicine bottle with a label reading something along the lines of "Take 1oz orally as needed for nerves. Repeat as needed." with the prescribing Doctor being another family friend of ours. I assumed it was Vodka.
