Margaret and Helen's COVID19 Quarantini. Strong enough to make you think Obama is still President
and knock you on your ass from 6 feet away. #SocialDistancing
Trump also calls this the Chinese Virus because finding blame for a pandemic is very Trumpian. He blames everything on Mexico, China, Obama or fake news. It’s as if he hasn’t been President for over three years. You know what Obama had to do with COVID19? Nothing. Honestly, if this really was called the Chinese Virus it would have a Trump clothing label on it and his moron of a first daughter would be trying to get it trademarked. The man has no shame and the sense God gave a goose. My apology to geese.
A real President would have declared COVID19 a public health emergency within a week of the first US case being detected. In a fully functioning government, the first test to detect the new virus would have been approved by the FDA two days later and shipments of the new CDC test would have gone out within 2 weeks. You know – EXACTLY HOW THEN PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA HANDLED THE H1N1 VIRUS.

Contrary to popular belief, I was born after the 1918 Spanish Flu pandemic. I’m really not sure what to tell you. I would imagine, however, that social distancing means it’s ok to drink alone.
Helen’s COVID19 Quarantini
1-part vermouth
19 parts gin
Garnished with a Vitamin C tablet
Served Chilled with Hand Sanitizer

And thanks for the 
This made me think of simpler times when Rachel Maddow would introduce us to and make a new and interesting cocktail on Friday evenings. I hope someday soon that we can return to more Maddow cocktails.
