He called it a "hoax virus". End of discussion.Does anybody have a list of all the things he has called a hoax? Isn't climate change a Chinese hoax?

A scientist warns we haven't seen the worst of the Wuhan coronavirus — it could reach 10 times the scale of the SARS outbreak and peak in March
See the date of this headline? Eight days before first case in Italy. Your argument is falling apart.

From your link:
Eric Toner, a scientist at Johns Hopkins University, previously told Business Insider that this coronavirus seems to be significantly milder than SARS
The new coronavirus, however, appears to be far less deadly than SARS.
Snake to human
Wuhan coronavirus, which scientists believe jumped from a snake to a human, has infected more than 600 people across nine countries and killed 18.
Even he blamed China:
- Chinese authorities missed the "golden time" to halt the spread of the disease, since people had already begun their Lunar New Year travels, he said.

Bottom line: The words Trump, Covid-19, and Hoax will be forever entwined. All the semantics in the world won't help you.

Toner, a senior scientist at the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security, has more than three decades of experience in hospital disaster planning and pandemic preparedness. He's worked with governments and public health officials during many epidemics and disasters, and he says the coronavirus is unique.
"It started to become obvious that this was something that was unprecedented in our lifetimes," Toner says. "Obviously, China was surprised; no one knew this virus existed. Italy was surprised; they didn't see it coming. We in the US can't claim to be surprised; we have seen this coming for months now."
The early outbreak in China concerned Toner and his colleagues. But on Jan. 23, when Chinese officials put the city of Wuhan on lockdown, ordering 11 million people into a citywide quarantine, Toner and his peers knew this epidemic was different. Now Toner says governments around the world should've heeded those early warning signs.

Bumbling Dotard trump claimed he hasn’t left the WH in months. When a NPR reporter reminded him he held rallies and golfed just last month his excuse? He doesn’t remember. Sad. The man needs help.

Air quality in US dramatically worse, says new 'State of the Air' report - CNN
According to the EPA, the Clean Air Act is responsible for a 50% decline in emissions of key air pollutants since 1990, the year when a new series of amendments were passed.
Under the Trump administration, however, a number of those protections have been rolled back or have gone unregulated. It's that lack of enforcement -- along with worsening climate change -- which has lead to the recent reversal of air quality gains, the report said.
"If there's no environmental cop on the beat, we know that polluters will skirt the rules of the law, will cheat and will increase emissions," Billings said. "And pollution will increase. It has increased."

Surgeon general gets pushed to sidelines, sparking questions
The Trump administration took Surgeon General Jerome Adams off television last week after his controversial remarks on Covid-19's threat to minorities, silencing the White House's loudest voice on racial disparities even as concerns mount about risks to communities of color.
Adams made just one TV appearance last week, a steep decline from the 10-plus TV appearances he made the prior week on programs like ABC's "Good Morning America,” CBS’ “This Morning” and NBC’s “Today Show." The surgeon general received multiple requests for high-profile media appearances last week that the White House didn't accept, said two people with knowledge of some of those requests. Adams also hasn't made an appearance at a White House press briefing since April 10.

Senate: 2017 intel report about Russian meddling and Trump was correct
A bipartisan investigation by the Senate Intelligence Committee has validated the January 2017 U.S. intelligence assessment describing Russia interference in the 2016 presidential election — including Russian efforts to help Donald Trump — describing it as accurate, thorough, and untainted by political bias.

The earliest known US virus-related fatalities have been confirmed in California as more deaths are investigated - CNN
The Santa Clara County Medical Examiner-Coroner performed autopsies on two individuals who died in their residences in February and sent samples to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the county said in a news release.
"Testing criteria set by the CDC at the time restricted testing to only individuals with a known travel history and who sought medical care for specific symptoms," the release says.
The results, which came back from the CDC on Tuesday, confirmed both tissue samples tested positive for the virus.
