Update: Yes, quinine is a zinc ionophore. So it works the same as Hydroxychloroquine. But I suspect a person would have to drink a heck of a lot of tonic water to get good affect.
Translation: Quinine can help Zinc move into the cell and help it remain there longer. The presence of Zinc and\or its Ionophores makes it harder for many viruses to reproduce themselves.
Don't overdose on HCQ, you'll die, it can also help other ions accumulate in your cells, such as Calcium(II)
