"Any scientist or statistician will tell you that this estimate is very wrong"

We won't know it's wrong until testing proves it. That won't happen until antibody testing finds people who were asymptomatic. In the meantime, if we don't add any more cases, the MR will go up as current patients die.

"There may be 900,000 other people out there who got COVID, "
I know. As a wise lady once said, "Testing, testing, testing."

"Now that is less of a mortality rate than the flu"
Yeah, except we also don't know who got the flu, but were asymptomatic. You have to calculate the MR the same way you do for all other infectious diseases. The flu might actually have a 0.001 rate.
