That's very plausible, but not at all a problem for hospital overload.
That depends on how concentrated the wave is.
That, and a lower average age of hospitalized/severe cases due to ongoing vaccination of seniors and others with risk of complications.
I think the vaccination of seniors and high risk demos will help, but I also think this wave will be heavily seeded with the other strains, so I'm still holding my breath to see how this hits children and pregnant women (with regards to hospitalizations).
