I think we should believe what the CDC says, yes?
Geez, I always "bought" what the FBI told me. Bunch of snakes.

we'd also need to know how many will catch SARS-CoV-2. The verdict is still out on that.
I could guess, like they do.

The virus spreads rapidly with the average patient giving it to 5.7 others
That is what my nurse said too, just recently. He is caring for a Covid patient who lives with 10 other people. Bottom line: now they all have it.
The nurse looks like an astronaut. He has a huge, hard hat kind of thing with circular pads that clean the air he breathes. It's quite a contraption. But I touched something the other day, and I had to immediately wash my hands, he put hand sanitizer on my hands and wiped down every tool he had.
I am not doubting that covid-19 spreads quickly and to many people, but it is driving me crazy how no one really seems to know what is going on. They seem to change the rules daily.
From your links, yes, it seems like the previous pandemic was less dangerous.
I wouldn't have wanted that one, or this one, either.
