This data was not publicly available, and leaked while our provincial government were insisting that the ICU beds were overflowing (thus "justifying" their "enhanced restrictions"), and while there were videos coming out of empty hospitals. A week or two after the leak, they didn't address the lie, rather moved onto a new lie, namely, "the ICU beds aren't overflowing because people are staying home and dying there!"
Also in Ontario, there were scare stories by the MSM about how the hospitals are "overflowing" due to the flu, just prior to COVID coming into the public consciousness (i.e., March 2020 lockdowns):
There's a similar story from TIME for the USA:

The point of these scare stories regarding the flu were likely to try to justify expansions in the health system, and thus, a more powerful government.
