Google how many died and how many tested positive on March 18th and then look at the totals for today.
The Flu never ramps up like this.
It didn't necessarily "ramp up", the number of flu tests available and flu tests actually given is what "ramped up". Nobody was testing much for it in March, now there are hundreds of thousands being tested. Naturally the number of positive cases is going to rise at a very rapid rate.
The CDC was still not testing large numbers of people by the middle of March. In New York City on March 24th: An alert was sent out “COVID-19 testing is only indicated for HOSPITALIZED PATIENTS.”
