I don't follow. Per the CDC link, seasonal flu hospitalizations result from 1.0% to 1.5% of flu infections. COVID-19 is currently at about 20%. That's a significantly higher hospital load for COVID-18 than for seasonal flu.

With season flu hospitals are not overwhelmed but with covid-19 they probably will be so even more people will die.
