You had raised the question earlier on why it seems vaccinated people are more likely to contract it than unvaccinated, and I think it's a hard question to answer as there are too many variables that call into question the premise (are testing rates equal for vaccinated and unvaccinated people, for example), but it occurs to me that with the severity of omicron and the long lines of people in massive vaccination centres, that it could potentially be spreading there. I know when I got vaccinated, I was waiting in line for well over an hour, for example. This is purely speculation, but the move to the hockey hub model at Pinebush seems like a good one with this in mind.
