I'm glad you asked! Here's some data on exactly that subject!
https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/vsrr/COVID19/index.htm (Current data in .csv format as of 2020-04-24)
Here it is assembled into a chart!

You can see that influenza (light blue) deaths didn't really change much week-to-week (and neither did pneumonia), but COVID-19 deaths show a huge spike!
Please heed the big red box's warning, and note that none of the weeks with reported COVID-19 deaths are outside the "still being reported" window, so these numbers are likely to increase. Check back in 4 to 5 months to see the final counts for this time period!
Here's an illustration of this lag:
While we can't say for sure how high the deaths were during this period, we can definitely say that Influenza (& pneumonia) deaths weren't reported at 0. There definitely was not a sudden vanishing of Influenza & Pneumonia deaths that would explain the quantity of reported COVID-19 deaths.
