[QUOTE="FrumiousBandersnatch, post: 76419003, member: 241055"] The problem is that two vaccinations are only about 20% effective against Omicron infection, significantly fewer people have had boosters, and it's much more transmissible (a recent UK estimate was an R value of around 5), causing exponential growth. This means that, without measures to slow the spread, very large numbers are likely to become infected (as we are seeing in the UK). So even if a far smaller percentage of the infected will be hospitalized, the large overall number of infections means that a lot of people are still likely to be hospitalized, putting significant pressure on hospitals & ambulance services that are already under strain.
