Homemade Hand Sanitizers
There have been a deluge of online recipes for hand sanitizers due to the hoarding and lack of product availability of commercially made products. But, the home-made recipes are often poorly formulated, and not efficacious in killing the viruses, including coronaviruses, that we are currently so obsessed about (and rightfully so). Not prepared correctly, the home-made versions will NOT properly decontaminate your hands, and worse, may cause micro-lesions that actually can create a route of entry for viruses and bacteria to enter your body.

An Important Public Revelation:
The New York Times has recently published an important article examining the current state of forensic breath alcohol testing. I provided some background, and was interviewed by the reporters on a number of occasions Since the publication of the Times articles, I had an opportunity to turn the tides, so to speak, and interview the lead reporter, Ms. Stacy Cowley, regarding their story. The full audio of the interview is available here, a Counterpoint exclusive.

Recently, the CBC in Canada has reported on a case where a man in British Columbia was charged, twice, for refusing to provide a breath sample. Read the article HERE. Without reviewing his medical records, certainly a definitive conclusion as to his ability to provide a sample cannot be made. However, the ability to provide breath sample suitable for analysis can be impacted by a history of COPD, and in certain cases, the size and stature of the individual being tested. The person's lung function is measurable, and the likelihood of sample provision capabilities can be established. We will report more on this story as it unfolds. Stay tuned...
