That's 1% with fully functioning ICUs and other stuff. You can _easily_ reach 10% fatlity if the hospitals are overwhelmed.

This happened for a short time in tiny part of Italy and the death rate skyrocketed.

Less than 7% of official COVID cases require hospital care. It is not possible to reach 10% mortality at the population level even with 100% infection rate.
