Nope. You have way over-generalised there. Lets do some basic maths. The seasonal flu has an infection rate of about 1.1. This means if you have the flu and stand in a room for 10 minutes with 10 people, you will infect 1 other person. The 10th time you do that, you will infect 2 people of the ten in the tenth room. The seasonal flu has a mortality rate of 0.1%. Using my above example, you would have to infect 1000 people (that's a lot of rooms of 10 people) before 1 person was likely to die.
Now lets compare those statistics with COVID-19. If you had COVID-19 and stood in a room of 10 people for 10 minutes, congratulations you have probably made 3 people sick. If you did the same in another room, you probably infected 4 people that time. If you kept doing that until you infected 1000 people, 24 people will likely die if you believe the statistics from China.
I prefer to believe the statistics from Italy though. Currently 2509 confirmed cases with 79 deaths. That's 3.14%
