In CA btw.
Hard to know exactly what you are referring to here but it sounds like you are spreading more misinformation. We all need to get better at communicating. I swear that half of public discussion these days is based on fictional situations and not reality.
1) Democrats accused Trump of mishandling COVID-19.
2) Trump labeled the *criticism* as another "hoax" about his presidency/competency.
3) Democrats react to 2) and accuse Trump of labeling COVID-19 a "hoax".
4) Bipartisan collection of journalist pointed out that 3) is bogus and 2) is what was said.
5) hurrdurr2's comment appears to be a variation of 3) relative to 2).
6) this comment is an attempt to point out this history and correct the record similar to 4)
I'm taking no stance here on 1) as it really depends what specific criticism is being evaluated. Some of it was/is reasonable and some of it was/is ill-founded.I have no idea what exactly motivated all the bullshit associated with 3) but it was some combination or poor reading comprehension, slopping rumor mongering, or disgusting politicization of a major public health crisis.

"Nobody under 70 has died, and over 700 people infected on that ship. So that's impressive."
That's just from randomly seeking through one of his recordings.
Yeah, China, Korea, and Italy quarantined millions over just the flu. Some people's ability to deny reality is very impressive.
And there are definitely Trump supporters calling the situation a hoax, as in, "this is a hoax to blow up the stock market and make Trump look bad, don't you know that more people die of the flu every year?".
We don't have to copy everything China does, just do what has proven to work:
Fast testing and contact tracing.
