Closer to 4x and only between 10M and 40M people in the US get the flu every year. Coronavirus could be >4x more deadly and have >10x more people infected.
Lets ballpark and say it's 3x more deadly and only 3x more people get it than the flu, 40M * 3x * .0003 == 36k deaths. However, we've blown past that many deaths already, and we have nowhere near 120M infected people so far, so the math just doesn't work. It's far more than 3x more deadly than the flu, or we have far more infections than we can account for in any study.
Also keep in mind that the death statistics have largely only counted people with positive tests who died in a hospital, so it's going to be strictly under counting.
