The most important counterpoint is that the Stanford study cited there is really bad: https://statmodeling.stat.columbia.edu/2020/04/19/fatal-flaw...

The more recent numbers from New York put the IFR at 0.5 to 1%, which matches what most organisations (WHO, governments etc) have been assuming for a couple of months now. Also the actual death count from NY makes the Stanford numbers pretty much impossible (0.2% of people in NYC have already died).
