We got lots of it with the Omicron driving things, less severe, lower hospitalization rate, but because of the shear numbers even with lower rates and less severe illness the few that have a worse case is causing problems for the hospitals.

@Subsumedpat That'll largely depend on the risk reduction, however. If it's 50% sure. If it's greater, not necessarily. So far real-world data don't seem to point at a significant risk of hospital saturation, even in regions that have been dealing with Omicron for 4+ weeks. 🤞

@Elessar Our ICU capacity is at 95% right now.

@Subsumedpat Hopefully because of delta? In such case it might even decrease, if omicron is less severe and outcompeting it.

@Elessar It is less severe but with greater numbers the smaller percentage can be a problem.
