So - while the death rate seems to be 3-4x higher than the flu -

*****************

Actually a few days ago the WHO released an estimate of total infections worldwide which indicates that the infection fatality rate for C19 is currently about 0.13%.

That makes it about as fatal as a bad flu strain.

Less dangerous for younger people, more dangerous for elderly.

That's only true of their estimate is true. The same guy also said this: the world is in “for a hell of a ride for the next eight or nine months” as it awaits a vaccine, but he cautioned that a vaccine will “not be a silver bullet, but an additional tool that should be added to a comprehensive strategy to fight this disease”.

“The problem is there is more than six billion left. Therein lies our problem,”

So - take it all if you take any of it. If the CFR is the same - that means we have an R0 that is significantly HIGHER. The end result turns out to be the same result: more deaths.
