Agree with everything you have said but it has obviously been demonstrated that the virus is very poorly understood.
Just yesterday a leading doctor in Milan mentioned that the viral loads they were seeing in some positive cases have lowered and supposedly the virus is dead in Italy. Either we are becoming immune or the virus is weakening (impossible) or we have no idea what is going on (very likely). We don't even understand how our own immune systems work anyway.

The most interesting thing moving forwards is whether countries that were hit hard will see 2nd waves following relieving lockdowns. If they don't then it must only show that maybe a very large number of people have been infected (though impossible to prove) and there is some community immunity.
We also don't know the relationship between other coronaviruses, immunity and the mortality rate. The Asian countries have been mostly spared in terms of mortality yet they have suffered other outbreaks in recent years (eg SARS) whereas we didn't....
Singapore has had 35,000 confirmed infections but only 23 deaths.... That's a mortality rate of 0.06%....... Why is it 0.06% in Singapore but almost 14% here when going off confirmed cases only for both?
The only reason I can think for these numbers is reporting nuances or the number of infections is MASSIVE and the real mortality rate here is actually similar to Singapore. Going off our current number of deaths and to get a mortality rate of 0.06%... The whole population of the UK would have to be infected.... That's unlikely so god only knows what's going on.
