understand how ERs are more crowded than usual. It is clear they are under huge stress, but there are many more people who die of flu every year. Is it just more spread out? Do dying flu patients just not go to the ER?

Flu patients probably less likely to go to the ER

They aren't. Most hospital's are reducing ER staff hours.

Every person I've talked to that works in a hospital. Including family.

It is more spread out, and this virus causes longer hospitalization times.
