The NHS is always under constant threat of being Overwhelmed by the flu, every year............except this year, because the flu has decided not to bother this year as it’s big brother Covid is here. 2020/2021 the flu is awol.
Your 2015 links states that up to 50 per day were being admitted to hospital.

Your 2018 link states that 421 patients were admitted to hospital with flu in the week ending 31st December 2017.

2019 link states 237 admissions in a week.

On Monday, 18th January 2021, 4034 patients were admitted that day with COVID.

50 a day (350 per week), 421 in a week, 237 in a week vs 4034 in a day...
