For what it's worth, when I was in there earlier it took a few seconds between when I entered in my postal code to when the locations with available appointment showed up. While it was thinking, it said no appointments were available, then populated after those few seconds. If the website is really bogged down it'll take longer so don't click out.

I've tried waiting for several minutes, but I can see from the browser log that it is erroring out:

I was in, selected a time, and then the whole thing died on me. Back in the find a location and the request times out, so the servers probably can't keep up with the demand.
Could we move the conversation with “Just a guy” to a new thread for those who want to engage? It’s distracting from the Omicron updates and conversation.
Not sure of the etiquette here, but we started this discussion a week ago. Conversely you could start an Omicron discussion
Guess I should've booked my booster before they announced opening to 18+, was planning on going after Christmas in case I got knocked down by the booster.

Actually turned out to be no problem still to book a vaccination the week after Christmas.
I'm interested to see how this plays out. Canadians were (largely) willing to get vaccinated to stop this, but I do wonder if they're willing to keep going every 3-4 months? It seems like a big ask, particularly if the latest variant is as mild as things suggest.
And yeah, they could just "add this" to the current passports. But truthfully...that starts to get pretty uncomfortable for me.

It's not a big ask so much as an amazing opportunity/privilege.
I had pneumonia in 2007-8 and it knocked me down for six months. It was a year before I was back to normal and now I'm super prone to lung infections and bronchitis.
If you've ever had to live with a severe lung infection you'll do whatever you can to avoid it happening again. Masks. Boosters. They are such giant nothings compared to the risk of a severe lung infection that I'd get that shot every day if it made sense.
Not being able to hang out with your friends. Can only work a couple hours at a time (and not at all for weeks). Useless to your family. Walking from your bedroom to the bathroom requires a 2 hour nap after. Life is a write-off if your lungs are fataed, man.

These vaccines are not going to prevent Covid infection in the long term, so acting as such and having government freak out and shutter society over positive cases is too heavy handed to be sustainable with close to 80% of our country vaccinated. I know I won't be rushing out for a 4th, 5th or 6th shot every 6 months unless there are hard figures supporting the need to do so. I can certainly get behind an annual fall booster and suspect most people would be the same.
I've still yet to hear of any health system being absolutely crippled by Omicron, in fact there are countries with very poor vaccine uptake already saying the peak has passed and even the UK is starting to report hospitalizations are not falling in line with the rise in positive cases either. Hopefully this turns out to be a huge factor in showing that it's ok to have positive cases if we can rely on an annual booster to largely prevent any severe outcomes that we saw earlier in the pandemic.

.
and 6 months, isn't too long for pneumonia, my buddy was 12 months + till he was back "normal".

Your overall number (not your 14 day after vax number) is wrong. You've got it at 1.29 cases/day/M. But that includes both vaccinated and unvaccinated people.
As I said in my previous post, you need to find numbers (which may not exist) that shows the probability of getting covid as an unvaxxed person for each of the 624 days of your time interval. P1 to P624.
The correct risk of getting covid over those 624 days as an unvaxxed person is then:
If you want to use C=cases/day/M, then you need to compute C1 to C624 as:
Ci = (cases among unvaxxed on day i)*(1M/# of unvaxxed on day i)
Then you must figure out how to combine C1 to C624. Is a straight average sufficient?
I was told there is an age bias, which I agreed and produced a table that demonstrated that. The was told there is a vaxxed vs unvaxxed bias and I produced a table that shows that. Anything before Jan 21 are completely unvaxxed. To GGG's point there is a wide variability within a year which makes sense with seasonal dips and waves, which is why I showed the total for the year versus the historical. Agree that there is a more complete risk calc that could be done, but as you say the supporting data is likely not available. I will state once again I am not a statistician, but I do see trends and this one jumped out at me.
As I stated earlier if the increased number is due to shots being given during a peak, then the day zero numbers should show that. Instead they are at or below the historical numbers

Is there no room for any discussion at this point? Like I bring up a pretty salient point about the ongoing need for boosters, and wonder whether people will continue to get these, and it gets shouted down like I've suggested that people should avoid them and they don't work.

Shouted down or disagreed with? It seems like most think it would be no big deal.
