That is absolutely not how the figures for flu mortality are calculated.
Populations are sampled to see how many people have antibodies after a flu season. Then it is known how many people had the flu, and the mortality rate is pretty accurate. The same thing will happen for this coronavirius. We'll know what the mortality rate really is in 18 months or so.
