My brother's wife and 13yr old daughter tested positive last week, so far my brother is negative. All are vax'd and boosted. I expect for every "official" positive report of COVID19 Omicron variant there are many more who tested positive at home and aren't included in the official totals.
I really hope Omicron puts and end to this pandemic.

Wife had all the symptoms last week. Fever, fatigue, muscle aches, cough, runny nose...everything except the telltale "can't taste".
Over and done in 3 days. Covid tests 3 days in a row came up "negative".
(*) - Yes, POTUS waved a magic memo and told insurance companies to reimburse everyone up to 8 tests a month. Because everyone LOVES spending 6 months to get 25 bucks back from insurance companies, this is a fantastic plan.
