However this methodology evidently becomes less accurate the longer the pandemic goes on.

As was mentioned at the start, we’ll only have some kind of idea of the a death rate when comparing the numbers for 2020 against all the previous years ( and even that will not be accurate). And then when we compare that figure against all the other nations of the world And their figures will We have any kind of idea how we did.
