I know that every government on earth doesn't institute mass quarantines and extreme case tracking for the flu like every country in the world is doing right now for this virus.

The flu is tracked and yes it is different.

Mortality rates for people who present symptoms of the common flu are typically around .1% to .4%

COVID-19 mortality for people who present symptoms is currently running:

China - 4.1%

Iran - 4.4%

Italy - 2.5%
