No, you pulled this assertion out of your ass...The common flu is just as deadly.

The data does not support your assertion.

Coronavirus vs. Flu Deaths

COVID-19: There have been approximately 1,340,900 deaths reported worldwide. In the U.S, 248,707 people have died of COVID-19 between January 2020 and November 18, 2020.*

Flu: The World Health Organization estimates that 290,000 to 650,000 people die of flu-related causes every year worldwide.

The COVID-19 situation is changing rapidly. Since this disease is caused by a new virus, the vast majority of people do not yet have immunity to it, and a vaccine may be many months away.

Doctors and scientists are working to estimate the mortality rate of COVID-19, but at present, it is thought to be substantially higher (possibly 10 times or more) than that of most strains of the flu.
