Pretty much, yes. If you look at the original SPI-M reports such as this one there are multiple models compared with optimistic, middle and pessimistic predictions for outcomes. The ranges are huge in the graphs which does reflect the uncertainty in predictions. The SPI-M reports are very honest about the uncertainties and are also honest when the actual outcomes differ from predictions.

The press does like to pick up on the worst of worst cases as 'this is what is predicted'. It's just bad reporting to sell papers, and get clicks
