For what it's worth, I've been trying to find evidence of hospitals running out of ICU beds due to Omicron, but I'm not seeing it anywhere in North America, even in places that appear to have peaked. Staffing shortages due to quarantine policy seem to be a much bigger problem. The vaccines really do seem to be working, and Ontario has a lot of vaccinated high risk folks compared to most US states.
