The 2017-2018 influenza epidemic is sending people to hospitals and urgent-care centers in every state, and medical centers are responding with extraordinary measures: asking staff to work overtime, setting up triage tents, restricting friends and family visits and canceling elective surgeries, to name a few.
Pretty much everything else, though, matches up 100 percent. They can use the same narrative. The other difference is, none of this was paid attention to at all by the general public. Not one person would be able to tell you this fact if you asked them questions about the severity and hospital system strain in flu seasons before COVID came along. Even myself, until I started actually looking into this stuff.
Just look at prior years for perspective. This, from 2018, as TIME magazine describes the 2017 - 2018 flu season as an "epidemic"

Boy oh boy, now what does that sound like?
Difference is they weren't firing people for not getting the jab.

That was a worse year than usual for flu. Are these hospitals that fired their unvaxxed staff?
