Hospitals have always been overwhelmed. Check out this 2018 article about the flu: https://dfw.cbslocal.com/2018/01/08/hospital-overrun-by-flu-...

Empty beds aren’t making money for hospitals so they often run close to capacity.

The question is of degree. Is "covid overwhelmed" meaningfully the same as "yearly flu season overwhelmed"? Based on Government actions, it seems like covid is much worse.

(I wish I had the epidemiological understanding to look at data and understand that conclusion, but I don't.)
