I don't have the vaguest clue what you're talking about. Of course
Trump knew the virus was serious, which is why Trump shut down travel
from China and Europe, which you Democrats called xenophobic.
Remember that idiot Pelosi dancing in the streets of Chinatown calling
Trump names? I believe Biden said the same from his basement. Trump
saved millions of lives by spitting in the face of Democrats and
closing down travel anyway. Democrats have always hated that,
especially since Trump was always right, and the Democrats were always
wrong. That's always been Trump's greatest crime.
Trump was also listening to Fauci who, in those days, was saying that
masks were unnecessary, and just stay 6 feet apart.
Fauci has changed his advice multiple times, to suit the Democrats,
which is probably the reason that the Democrats love him.
In the meantime, Rand Paul is accusing Fauci of causing the pandemic,
by providing funds to the Wuhan Virology Lab that created the virus,
and let it escape into the wild.

Well, you definitely have all the standard FoX talking points in hand. FYI, Trump was saying there were only 15 cases and it would go away in public, but telling Woodward that is was already here in force. He hyped every fake cure (but took a real one for himself), and tried to fight every effort to stop the spread. His travel bans were as porous as cheesecloth, with 40,000 arriving from China AFTER the ban. And the Europe travel ban came after we had roughly 150,000 people arrive from infected Europe and devastate NYC, which Trump pooh-poohed as being fake.
I'll let Fauci defend himself, but it's hard to see how he could have done his job properly under Trump.
Then, there's Rand Paul with the latest in QAnon-style conspiracy nonsense. I don't have the time to write a real response to that.
Intelligence is not knowledge and knowledge is not wisdom, but they all play well together.
