American vodka company Tito's Vodka says it plans to use its distillery to make hand sanitizer.

That was in large part thanks to action taken early on, while cases were spreading across mainland China, to implement measures that are now familiar throughout the world: virus mapping, social distancing, intensive hand-washing, and wearing masks and other protective clothing.

Hong Kong was proof that these measures worked, with the city of 7.5 million only reporting some 150 cases at the start of March, even as the number of infections spiked in other East Asian territories like South Korea and Japan, and spread rapidly across Europe and North America.Now, however, Hong Kong is providing a very different object lesson -- what happens when you let your guard down too soon.

But this latest lesson may be a bitter pill to swallow, as it indicates that quarantines and social distancing must continue well beyond the initial wave of cases, if another round of infections is to be avoided.Read the full story

jaketapper I've made natural hand sanitizer for years. You absolutely can use vodka but it will be more expensive. I've almost had to resort to using vodka because of an Isopropyl alcohol shortage 😒

Anyone heard of vinegar?

Good idea .... idem in France ?

Silverback in Virginia is already doing this.

jaketapper Please give it to front line workers and hospitals for FREE!! Many companies that are “helping” are charging enormous prices for their “ help” FREE to these front line people is helping!!!

Kudos to Tito’s. They absolutely get it. They produce an excellent product, care for customers (G-F), care for animals and now their community. True Americans!

jaketapper When this thing is over, we are going to have a huge surplus of hand sanitizer and a shortage of liquor.

I swear to God, ConanOBrien gave them the idea coz of his vid 🤣🤣🤣 arsachs sonamov AaronBleyaert

Where the hell is Purell; this is their specialtyand they're not stepping up. So weird....PURELL realDonaldTrump VP

I've found my new favorite vodka

jaketapper Thank you TitosVodka ! I’ve been a supporter of you from the beginning. 😊

Amazing! It’s a nice move to flexibly change its production line from vodka to hand sanitizers. I hope they will successfully manufacture those medical products. Take care and best luck😊

They need to make vodka*AND* hand sanitizer - clean inside and out!!

1)Wuhan military games. Instead of returning to the United States with the rest of the team, the five sick soldiers were flown back in military aircraft. Why are the five soldiers missing? The United States, a military power, has zero gold MEDALS. Are they biological soldiers?

STICK TO VODKA

Good idea!

What makes me sick is there are fools out there that will actually drink this stuff, then go home and beat the shit out of his wife for nothing.
