Moreover, fatality rates are not 1%.

"Keep in mind that 9% of people have suffered a crippling illness that lasts several months." There is no evidence for such a claim. If you're referring to the people who spend time in ICUs, on ventilators, etc., these people represent a small fraction of the most severe examples of known infections (i.e. less than 9%), which themselves represent only about 1/10th-1/20th of the total number of infections: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/cases-updates/commercial-lab-surveys.html https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/cases-updates/comm... The vast majority of people have mild illness, akin to a cold.
