The other related factor is omicron is more likely (than other variants) to infect someone who has been vaccinated or previously exposed to covid. So the number of infected low risk individuals is higher, than with previous strains.

The denominator is higher than if, let’s say, delta was let loose in the same population at the same time.

To clarify, omicron is more likely to infect vaccinated or exposed individuals _than the other variants_. NOT omicron is more likely to infect vaccinated people than non-vaccinated people.

The wording startled me until I understood the intended meaning.

Correct. Will clarify.
