There's a lot of focus on individual outcomes: if Omicron will be mild, who, when, how.. I get that, but even *if* severe disease risk were much less, a small percent of a huge wave is a big burden, especially after so much stress already on healthcare after two pandemic years.

I think a lot of unknowns remain, tbh. We only have a few weeks of data, a lot of open questions, and still a fairly big range of possibilities on the table. I really don't have any certainty really, but hospital overload seems to be a strong enough possibility to think about.

201,000,000 citizens are fully vaccinated. There are 50,000,000 known prior infections. Our kids wear masks all day. People have altered their lives in significant ways. We’ve done a lot. If the hospital system is failing, it’s time to look hard at the hospital system.
