Self-reply: these are both wrong. I read the data badly.
On Flu
2017-2018 saw an estimated 710,000 hospitalizations, the worst year on record.
On COVID, these are the CDC numbers for new cases, not hospitalizations.
I dunno how I got this wrong. I give the citations below, along with additional data on the relative death rates of flu and COVID.
