It seems that just over night, people were suddenly racing to drugstores and grocery stores to load up on bottles of hand sanitizer that they would have never given one thought to in the past. I have to be honest, I had to think where on earth the hand sanitizer aisle even was when I went on my own search. Once I had found it, gone. Not one bottle or travel bottle in sight. Hand sanitizer was once again a ghost on shelves.
Soon after officials began preaching the importance of washing hands and using hand sanitizer, there's been a shortage, so much so that even hospitals and other places that are in great need can't even order any.
