I don’t know who profits, but I do know we will only know the true mortality rate once this is over. For now, it’s all speculation, or at present rate.
Technically we can calculate the mortality rate now.
Total US cases: 734,901
Total US deaths: 38,780
38,780 / 734,901 = 5.28% mortality rate.

Yes, and that might prove very accurate, but for now, that is only an estimate. We won’t and can’t know the final number until the last person with covid-19 is cured.
Once testing on a wide scale is accomplished, that mortality rate is going to deflate drastically.
That’s NOT how mortality rates are figured
Currently only sick people are being tested. Unless you know how many had it with a mild to medium case you do not have the proper denominator
Serological testing is just now starting. Results to come
