I generally share your above perception. This particular CV has relatively low mortality (slightly higher than flu, based on published data; in Poland 12 dead more than 1000 infected), but it can and most probably will mutate till the next flu season in October/November, so there is a good chance it will start killing more people. But since the malaria drug kills this bug, I expect this round of infection to be contained within next 6-8 weeks. However, a space originating virus is a very serious possibility too and even the mix of the 2 comes to mind. However, what I am quite sure is the economic fallout of this prolonged quarantine. It will crash economies of the West and the recovery will be long and painful especially if you add that the PTB want to facilitate this crash for their own reasons. In fact, my own strong impression is that we will never get to the same "happy" economy which we had before the epidemic. Before we recover we will face either another round of the virus in autumn, food shortages due to a sudden collapse of the weather/climate or the upcoming war in the Middle East. The next round of the quarantine in autumn will be the nail that literally kills the economy as we know it and if you add the weather turning into much cooler one, this will produce chaos. The war influence is yet to be seen, but surely will not be positive. Take all 3 and we have a good reason to worry. Getting prepared like right NOW is the priority. Getting ones health and finances in order as first measure and getting some food stored as second. Getting away from the cities is also first priority.
