Why not? Don't hospitalizations and deaths automatically follow such upticks?

Actually, deaths don’t automatically follow such upticks. It depends on what part of the progression of the epidemic you’re in. If it’s the beginning, then yes, deaths initially follow positive tests. But positive tests later in the progression of the epidemic DO NOT necessarily result in deaths. This can currently be seen in the data globally.
Here’s a vid explaining it in better detail:
