Take 30-50 mg zinc with 500 mg quercetin and a chaser of 4 oz tonic water that contains real quinine ( double these doses if you are symptomatic)

Poor man’s hydroxy prophylactic

4 oz tonic water won't do a thing. Wiki -->
In the U.S., the FDA limits the quinine content in tonic water to 83 ppm which is 83 mg per liter by mass.

The daily therapeutic dose of quinine is in the range of 500–1000 mg.

For effective malaria prevention, 10 mg/kg every eight hours which is 2,100 mg daily for a 70 kg adult.

Now these are Wiki numbers, so use at your own risk. But, if the author is right, you would need to drink 25 liters of tonic water every day to get the dose needed for malaria prevention. Maybe you need less to act as a prophylactic for COVID, but even it you need only 10%, that's still almost three liters a day. Good luck with that.
