On your last point, you do know that even a very low-lethality virus, spreading through a completely virgin population with no established immunity, will easily overwhelm a healthcare system used to working on tight margins, in very scary looking ways. This however doesn't speak of the virus's actual threat level in an absolute sense, and it leaves us far from the terrifying end-of-the-world hyperbole im seeing in this HN post so far. Even at overwhelming healthcare, Covid has been far from nightmarish. In most of the world so far, things like what happened in New York, Italy, Spain, haven't been the case. Furthermore, even in Italy, New York, Spain and other places, evidence is clearly indicating a notable downward curve of saturation, already. I can't speak for the near future and other potential changes, especially on the economic front (caused more than partly by a great deal of new rules that might actually be artificially making worse things that could have been handled much more calmly) but We are not in the apocalypse so far people, get over yourselves. There are even several countries that haven't even applied quarantine models or lockdowns and they're doing okay so far despite being well into the general curve of the spread.
