To complete your example, had you written a $30 covered call on a $30 stock, and the stock fell to $2 (same scenario), you are left holding a stock which is worth only $2, and you lose $28 per share, minus whatever premium you received for the call.

It's easier when viewed as a payoff diagram. Both have the same risk-reward with respect to the underlier movement.
