Hope you feel better, but you definitely don’t have covid19! A. Covid takes at least a week or two before being symptomatic. 2 hrs is way too fast. B. 2L of Tonic water has just 150mg (max) of Quinine. That’s not a therapeutic dose in any shape or form. You would need to drink about 5L a day for 7 days for a therapeutic dose - safe to say that’s not realistic. Hope you feel better - this is either cold or seasonal allergy / flu.

The symptoms that people typically notice and report for COVID-19, dry cough and shortness of breath, did not start until about 3 days later, and, further, I am not sure that the gas pump was how I got it, so your conclusion that I do not have COVID-19 is not a sound argument. If you have the symptoms, you have evidence of the virus. The sore throat may be a red-herring, but I never get symptoms like this from normal flu or a cold, except the H1N1 flu years ago, so that is definitely not it. I am very familiar with how my body get sick. Again, as I pointed out, the notion of a "therapeutic dose" is not discrete: it is not the case that a small amount does absolutely nothing and then suddenly when you get to the "therapeutic dose" suddenly it does something. Drugs and the body generally do not work like that. If your body is hurting for a molecule and you give it the amount biomedical researchers have concluded will have an effect, it will likely have an effect, but if you give it a bit less, it still might help. Think of any time you have needed anything: even getting one thing was a lot more than getting zero. If you listen to how doctors talk, they say such things all the time: they basically guess how much to give you and then they move the amount up and down by factors of like 2 depending on the results they get.
