@BigMammaLlama5 If it's COVID then it will be better than you're thinking. If you test positive tomorrow then call your doctor and insist on getting Paxlovid. It's a lovely drug and will have you feeling better right away.
Union Co Commissioners voted 3-2 to prohibit water treatment plants and water treatment systems which Union County owns and operates from adding fluoride into water.
This is not official yet. The county manager says for a first reading vote to be official, it needed to be unanimous. Since it wasn't, the board will have to vote again at the next meeting.
If that vote is 3-2 again, the prohibition will go into effect.
If this goes into effect, it will not impact the 2/3rds of Union residents who source water from the Catawba River Water Supply Project
Williams, Merrell and Helms voted yes.

Raise your hand if as a chemist you have had an impurity give spurious or overly optimistic results. This is such a common phenomenon in chemistry that I am surprised it wasn't investigated as the first explanation.
Sodium metal is the new superfood: it's alkaline, a powerful antioxidant, and rich in sodium. Here's a recipe to make it more palatable.
