Last time I checked on the stats COVID is eleven times more deadly than the flu and 2.25 x more infectious, which doesn't sound like a whole lot until you factor in the exponential rate of spread.
Both of those factors, but ESPECIALLY the latter one make it much more dangerous.
after 10 infection cycles with the average seasonal flu a total of approximately 12 people would have been infected. With COVID 19 that number would be 37,916.
So even if the death rate of COVID were the same as the flu, which it isn't, it'd still be more deadly just because it has the ability to infect far more people.
