By "less deadly" you mean "once infected, more people survive covid than the flu," right? But isn't it more infectious - and doesn't the longer incubation time make it more deceptive? It's fairly easy to control flu outbreaks, even in environments like college campuses, by telling people to stay home. (And you usually don't even need to tell them that, because they'll feel too sick to not stay home.)
