So here are mine:
Humans might be able to pass the virus on to our pets:
The virus has already mutated, which is why people are testing positive after recovering from it:
Even the severely sick cant get tests:
Worldwide unrest:
. . and in America too:
6 feet might not be enough social distancing:
Humans go extinct. Our penguin replacements learn advanced technology and conquer the universe. Humans missed out. That’s how the galaxy spins.
People are posting videos online of the blocks long lines of ambulances waiting to get their patients into hospitals in Moscow. In Russia where they claim to be handling this “small” problem.
It’s these tyrannical but poorly run states that are going to have a ton of issues. (See also Brazil and the PI.) And ego-mad leaders and disintegration are a bad combination. They start lashing out at other countries to draw away from the internal problems.
I actually believe it will be the squids and octopuses that will rule the earth next.
Mother Nature is sick of CO2 and a late ice age. So, she gets rid of the problem, humans, and the cockroaches dance for eons.
Aye, they’re clever, and maybe even telepathic, but I doubt they’ll master electronics. And a rogue nautilus may spread a terrible virus amongst them. Tragedy repeats. Yikes.
Global economic collapse that we don’t recover from anytime soon.
Employers invest heavily in robotics because they realize human labor is unreliable due to the pandemic.
Mass unemployment due to both the virus and mass automation leads to social unrest.
Business owners and right wingers unite to push for fascism to cope with the unrest.
Also I have a friend in a developing nation. Nations like that don’t have the wealth to deal with extended lockdowns, and a lot of aid is mishandled due to corruption. She thinks there may be a coup, and I don’t blame her. I think this could lead to a global arab spring type movement and the end result will probably be governments just as bad as the ones they replaced, just more corrupt with easy answers.
This is all speculation. I think OP wanted actual news, like his links.
Not that I think this is a thread I want to continue reading either way. 
I’m team Corvid.
We await their return to our roof. Most snow has melted, so it won’t be long. BTW do NOT piss off Team Corvid - they’re relentless buggers.
News of the future is necessarily speculative unless you have a returnee from 2525 CE advising you. We’ve much alleged “news” media forecasting impending cataclysms. I doubt they qualify as factual because the future hasn’t happened yet. Stay tuned.
Follow this thread or the poodle gets it! (On the InterWebz, nobody knows you’re a poodle.)
From a study published in Science.
Remember the “flattening of the curve” model? Maybe not so much:
OP didn’t say anything about the future. Which is why I thought he was looking for more “now.”
None of the"flatten the curve" models I saw was even close to being symmetrical. They al looked exactly like what is happening now.

No.
Raccoons.
It has been clear to me that the exaggerated predictions some people made in January and February aren’t coming to fruition. What is also clear to me is that these people are’t happy about this. They are also upset that things will likely be returning to normal much quicker than their predictions, with far fewer fatalities than they predicted.
They want the shutdowns to go on as long as possible (presumably because that’s all they do with their lives) so they can fulfil some apocalyptic fantasy they have, ignoring the wide ranging impacts of what would happen shutting the whole world down for months, if not years! Some definitely get some sort of enjoyment or excitement over the doom and gloom. I think its because it makes them feel included or something.
I fully support what is currently being done to mitigate things as a short term solution. But this cannot go on forever like a lot of doomers want it to.
Furthermore, this: https://i.imgur.com/ORHfwf7.jpg
The " exaggerated predictions" were based on infection rates at the time. The whole point of the shutdowns was to reduce exposures and infections which what has happened. Of course the numbers would change to below original predictions. THAT WAS THE INTENT.
Do you actually WANT more infections and deaths?
Which predictions are you talking about? The predictions that I read and found exaggerated were talking about tens of millions of death alone in the US. This is not going to happen.
That’s so obvious.
Obviously no.
Why is this clear to you? Can you point to an example of someone who wishes there were more deaths?
I suspect you can’t, but I can. There are multiple conservative/Republican/Trumpers who publicly declare that they can live with 2-3% fatalities, or tens of millions of fatalities, because the economy must reopen because reasons!
2-3% OF TOTAL MORTALITY just so we can open stuff up again.
Why do we have to kill 3% of us just so we can open stuff up again?
Obviously that’s because we saw the danger (eventually) and acted on it.
Serious question… what kind of point do you think you’re making by saying “We didn’t have NEARLY the amount of deaths we’d have had without preventive measures?” That’s how prevention works.
