The last bad hit on the hospitals was in 2017-2018
"Through the USISS mandatory scheme, a total of 3,454 ICU/HDU admissions of confirmed influenza were reported across the UK from week 40 2017 to week 15 2018, including 372 deaths, based on combined data from England, Scotland and Northern Ireland."
The death rate from anybody admitted to ICU from flu seems to be about 10%.
Admission rates for flu during that bad season was 0.22 per 100k
From what little data there is on Covid-19 it looks like that admission rates to ICU are about 0.30 per 100k, with a wide range (0.20 to 0.40). We won't know the average until it is over.
About 30% die (and again the range is anything up to 50%).
The UK data for Covid-19 in any depth is incomplete.
