Keeping the virus at bay

When people are afraid, they do desperate things.  They are still buying all the toilet paper in Japan.  I heard today that Costco is no longer selling the big packs of toilet paper, but instead are breaking open the packages and selling smaller units.

It is so frustrating that people take advantage of others during times of crisis.  Just yesterday I was at the store and saw an entire endcap full of products to "keep the virus away."  Using sodium chlorite, the manufacturers are touting safety by handing this on a purse or bag.


It doesn't make sense since sodium chlorite is typically combined with other chemicals to purify and disinfect.  It can be used to treat and purify water, clean surfaces for food preparation, and making an antimicrobial treatment for seafood.

No matter what, the product packages said "virus down" and "virus away."  People are afraid right now and I'm sure that today that shelf is cleared.

The kiddo is feeling much better (without the need for any weird products)!  Yay!
