The main shift I've noticed (as a layman) is that people are thinking the illness is more contagious and less fatal than first thought. That explains the downward revisions in future deaths, but it also means that physical distancing is more effective and more important than first thought. Because a carrier that stays home is infecting ~5 less people rather than ~2 less people.
The thing I'm worried about today is population centers deciding to relax mitigation before they've vastly increased testing capacity.

The remainder should treat Corona as they do with the common flu, that is what the data is telling us.
