60% alcohol is adequate to kill coronavirus. Purell uses a mix of isopropyl and ethanol alcohols because isopropyl is better at killing bacteria while ethanol is better at killing viruses, but regardless it is effective at killing coronavirus.
If you want to make your own hand sanitizer, just drop by your local liquor store and buy some 190 proof Everclear (grain alcohol). It's 95% ethanol. You have to use 99% isopropyl to match it. But you'll probably find it difficult to find Everclear because it's been bought out for this reason. I had to stop by daily at my local liquor store for a week before they finally got another shipment in. Glycerin is also hard to find, but it can be ordered online from chemworld.com. I've acquired both and now have 4 liters of hand sanitizer with an 80% alcohol content.
Plain old soap and water works best of all against all pathogens, but you can't carry a bucket of soap and water around, so I just use hand sanitizer when I'm out and about. If I'm somewhere there's soap and water available, that's the best choice.

Everclear got cut since the days we were in college. It’s 151 proof, same as Bacardi now. I bought a pint a few weeks ago for the same reason. Was disappointed to see the reduction.

That must be a state restriction. I just bought two 1.75 liter bottles of 190 proof Everclear. I would go for 99% isopropyl if I couldn't get 190 proof Everclear.
