How the severity/effects of the virus were drastically overstated in March/April,
Of course this just isn't true. True, some aspects (such as risk of surface transmission) were overestimated; but other aspects (airborn transmission risk) were also underestimated at the time.
At the same time, countermeasures have definitely improved. And in some areas, the virus has partially attained is saturation limit (and so its spread has slowed somewhat).
But roughly stated, the overall assessment of risk/severity back in early Spring remains spot-on (perhaps even understated - given what we know know about the phenomenon of "long-haulers").
