Hypothetical coronavirus in the 2T

Yes; the "actual infections" are estimated rather than measured.  This is how the 0.1% flu fatality rate is derived.

If you look only at confirmed cases, the flu fatality rate is in the range of 10%-25%, way higher than for Covid-19.  We know there are a lot of flu cases that are never tested for, though.
