This virus is at least ten times deadlier than the common flu.

Maybe so, but odds still favor you much more likely to contract and die from the flu, simple math, 18,000 deaths flu vs 18 corona. You're a hell of alot more likely to die from vehicle accident; avg. 100 die each day, every day, in the U.S. Do you worry all day in full angst mode worrying about dying on your next drive?

Is it really 10X deadlier than the common Flu?

Before you snap back with claims that I'm an idiot, please follow my logic or lack of logic if you feel that way

The Common Flu is widely tested for and we have very accurate info on the Common Flu, but with Covid-19 the only people that have been tested so far are the worst of the worst and the most at-risk groups

Is it possible that if Covid-19 was as widely tested and analyzed as the Common Flu then the mortality rates would be a lot more even or equalized between those 2 viruses?

The paranoia surrounding this Covid-19 is akin to analyzing shooting incidents only on the Southside of Chicago rather than Nationwide throughout the entire the USA

Is my logic unfair, too simplistic?

I believe that if we had more wide scale testing, the amount of chaos, paranoia, and interruption of our normal lives would be a lot less than it is now
