Trump has suggested that a drug that works on malaria appears to be effective for Wuhan Kung flu. The substance is quinine. In case you didn’t know, tonic water was created by the British as a way to get quinine into colonists in India and other subtropical areas where malaria was prevalent. Quinine powder was quite bitter and so tonic water and gin and tonic were born. So for the duration of this crisis I am switching from martinis to gin and tonic.
