        Andrew Cuomo says there is a “floral bouquet” scent to the NYS hand sanitizer. He says this is much cheaper than other hand sanitizers on the market. And if there’s price gouging, Cuomo WILL release this onto eBay and Amazon. I don’t know if he’s joking or not.

        A note: Cuomo says NY’s sanitizer is 75% alcohol. I guess most are 60%, so Cuomo says that NY’s is better.

        Cuomo says it costs $6 a gallon to make the NYS hand sanitizer. It’s being produced at the Great Meadow Correctional Facility in Washington County. The hand sanitizer is not available to the general public; it’s being provided, for free, to school districts & municipalities.

        Cuomo: “That was a joke. I don’t necessarily know that it has a floral bouquet. I did detect a hint of citrus — but you be your own judge.”
