It’s not insulting or defamatory until it goes public so I’ll just leave it at that.
The cleaned up version of what I told him is that I’m living in an Omicron hotspot in the U.S. where the quarantine period is 0 and the world isn’t coming to an end. 14 days was necessary for a slow-burner like Delta but Omicron is going to let you know within 3-to-5 days after you’ve been exposed that you’ve got it so 10 days is more than enough.
