Gin? Ick.

LOL

Don't know how it came about, but for years one of my favorite summer drinks has been 50% tonic water and 50% lemonade in a big tumbler over ice. Like an Arnold Palmer but with tonic water instead of tea. The tonic cuts the sweetness of the lemonade, and adds a little fiz. With sugar free lemonade & sugar free tonic water, it's a diet drink!

Come to think of it, I don't have any tonic water or lemonade in my CAB -- COVID Apocalypse Bunker.

I visited my Local Kroger and HEB this morning and saw that their stocks ot Tonic Water looked a bit depleted. They had much more Club Soda and Ginger Ale on the shelves either side of the Tonic.

I plan on drinking a a quart of Tonic a day, after all it won't do any harm and I quite like the drink anyway, back in my military days in Belize I used to drink a pint a day, in the Officer's Mess (of course back then it usually had some Gin in it).

Tonic water contains no more than 83 mg of quinine per liter—a much lower concentration than the 500 to 1,000 mg in the therapeutic dose of quinine tablets.
Drinking a few ounces of tonic water shouldn't be harmful, but it isn't likely to prevent your leg cramps

This 30 year doctor in CA who is treating COVID19 patients seems to think it's a really big deal. Article here.

North Korea is lying foreign diplomats out of the country and there are reports of hundreds of deaths among soldiers who are not elderly or infirm.

This is clearly a big deal, and in a few weeks that fact won't be able to be denied here in the US either.

Not to be rude, but Dr. Fink is a Primary Care doc, 30 years of practice with no publications, and no documented work with NIAD, CDC, etc.. Commonly expressed, "he's gassing." Daily Mail is also a step or two below CNN, so...

'My biggest hope is that I am totally wrong, and that you will all wonder in a few weeks what the hell I was talking about.
But I have a pretty good track record, and I think you should take steps now to protect yourselves and your family.
There is little cost to taking extra precaution right now, and the earlier, the better.'
