I like Dr John Campbell's daily videos on Covid / Omicron: https://www.youtube.com/c/Campbellteaching/videos A lot details explanations on latest data from all over the world and discussion of scientific papers in normal language.


> I have fallen mildly ill, as have my wife and son. So far we don’t have a positive Covid-19 test, and everyone is maximally vaccinated, but given the timing the obvious conclusions do seem likely

I stopped reading right there. Many cold viruses are circulating right now, it doesn’t mean every illness is Covid. You must always be careful not to spread any illness you have, but it is dangerous to make assumptions, especially after being tested and the odds are you don’t have it. Add a small child to the mix, where viruses are pervasive and parents are usually sick more often. It spreads false ideas to suggest your symptoms are Covid if they very possibly are not, or to just speculate in general without evidence.
