That’s exactly what you do, and what mankind has done since he took to water. Some seepage is always going to happen, so you have a means to bail out any collected water. Every ship has a bilge pump.

And bilge pumps aren't designed to completely counteract a hole in the hull; at best they'll give you enough time to get to dry dock for repair.
Pedantry aside, you're ignoring the point. Our goal should be to vaccinate as many people as possible, and there will always be those you need to meet where they are, rather than demand they come to you.

Hospitalizations
Graphs and tables of COVID-19 hospitalization data by status, location and number of people in the ICU.
235 new hospitalizations or ~ 50% of previous day hospitalizations. Let's see how long the lag is from hospitalization to ICU.

There is some discussion that hospitalizations from Omicron tend to be shorter - though it is unclear whether the rate of proceeding to ICU is the same. Too many unknowns.

I would like to see the data re hospitalizations and vaccines.

Also major changes to COVID testing announced today.
Meanwhile, starting Friday, publicly funded PCR testing will be available only for those at-risk of COVID-19, and workers, residents in high-risk settings like hospitals, LTCs, retirement homes, and congregate living.
Rapid antigen tests are also being preserved and prioritized for high-risk settings, Moore said. Moore said the province is hitting the 100,000 testing capacity, and given the high positivity rates, he says the virus is widespread in the community.
"We cannot at present test everyone who wants one, I'm sorry we don't have that capacity, we never actually did, nor does any country," Moore said. "We must preserve these resources for those who need them the most," Moore said, saying the move is meant to ensure those at highest risk of severe outcomes have timely access to test results.

That was expected. Too many new cases. And getting rapid antigen tests is a crapshoot - we got two boxes we share with a couple of friends and that came to $900. What about those who can't pay for them or get them for free?
And also: why are we still allowing restaurants, concert halls and theatres to open when this is obviously one of the most perilous times for the health care system? Many establishments have closed voluntarily but Ford shouldn't be MIA.
