If you have some sort of anti-media bias or agenda, or don't believe the official stats, or have some other reason for not agreeing with the available data, then maybe.
But its straight from the WHO and CDC's mouth. Fatality rate is 2-3% for coronavirus, <.01% from seasonal flu.

Serious question--how do they know what the fatality rate is for this strain of Coronavirus??

or don't believe the official stats,
And even then it says, "the national (China) mortality rate drops to 0.3%." That's not "far more deadly than the regular flu" as you put it.
quote:I do. I believe the mainstream media ZERO. I have worked with and for the MSM long enough to know they don't exist to sell accurate information.
If you have some sort of anti-media bias
They sell advertising.
And the best way to sell more advertising is by frightening readers and listeners even when what they report is inaccurate.
They have worked hard to earn my distrust.
But if you choose to believe whatever the media prints or says, that's okay with me, too.
