So there will be an upswing, but it won't be the flu.
The flu a and b are RNA viruses; this guy is a DNA virus. Because of those oxy groups this corona virus is far more stable than flu b or a. Basically RNA is so unstable that it mutates, and the vaccine is based on them growing a million strains of it based on the previous season and seeing what the most common mutations are. Really more art than science.
This guy probably isn't going to change that much. And in the summer months the spread SHOULD abate.
However, it won't vanish. It'll hang around, getting passed silently within the population. And then when things get cool again, and people start getting simple common colds or we just stop with all these precautions, it'll come back with a vengeance.
This is also why we won't have sports at all this year if people are smart.
This is all wrong actually. The virus that causes COVID19 is a single stranded RNA virus. It mutates a lot, which is why a vaccine is difficult to create.

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2),[1][2] previously known by the provisional name 2019 novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV),[3][4][5] is the cause of the respiratory disease coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Taxonomically, it is a strain of the Severe acute respiratory syndrome-related coronavirus (SARSr-CoV),[1] a positive-sense single-stranded RNA virus.[6]
