It's not possible to estimate the total number of deaths because it's impossible to get an accurate mortality rate. The current mortality rates published are grossly inaccurate because the ratio is being calculated by dividing the number of deaths by the number of confirmed cases. There are multiple articles by reputable doctors and medical institutions pointing out this fact. I've linked just one below.
To get an accurate mortality rate, you must compare the number of deaths to the total number of cases, i.e. both reported and unreported cases. That's not possible when people suffer minor symptoms and never get tested, or they get medical treatment, recover, and are never tested.
The bottom line is COVID-19 is a major problem, but probably not nearly as deadly as some are predicting.
