Doesn't that put it on par with the flu, of which is also a coronavirus?

I don't think flu strains are a type of coronavirus but I think some of the common cold strains are.

Flu isn't a coronavirus.

Flu is serious, which is why we have internationally coordinated campaigns to monitor circulating strains, develop vaccines, and get vulnerable people vaccinated.

So far, covid-19 has been more severe than most flu years.
