What source is best for Covid-19 info? I find that I no longer trust CDC. [View all]

I have a family dynamic that require I find incubation period, symptoms, recommendations, etc. In other words, I need to educate myself so that I may stay safe, and help others. I visited the CDC site, and found I was not confident in what I was reading (even though it may be accurate). I feel as though it has been tainted.

Inquiry: Is there a source that is reliable? Can CDC info be trusted? I live in SoCal. I also need a reliable source that explains testing, and testing recommendations. I need info for people of several generations.
