Here is a good article on that and shows why people are thinking that it is no deadlier than the flu.
Clarifying the True Fatality Rate of Covid-19: Same as the Flu?
Mostly, it looks like people are confusing the CFR with the IFR. The CFR is cases showing symptoms where IFR is based on the number of people infected. CRF for the two is similar, while the IFR shows that COVID is higher.
Yes that is the article I read earlier , I should have quoted my source in OP, thanks for referencing it. That is about as definitive as we are going to get. IFR Flu = 0.1% , latest estimate IFR cv19 = 0.65 - 1%. So cv19 is between 6.5 and 10 times more deadly, has a higher R number and longer incubation period.
