What is making rubbing alcohol and hydrogen peroxide such popular horder items?

Both items are not good to use on wounds and cuts and stuff, because it can kill the good bacteria that helps heal and prevent infections. A saline solution is the better choice.

People are buying what they are told to

@SW-User I haven't heard anyone say what to buy. I'm not surprised bread and canned goods are gone, but I don't see any reason to have mass quantities of those other items.

@Arorin Govt is telling over 60% alcohol content based hand sanitizer I bought 3 for a colleague n next day even that store had none to sell

@SW-User washing hands throughly with good soap and water is a better thing, but I suppose if that isn't an option the hand sanitizer is better than nothing.
