If you agree that there is a disease, it's misleading to call the entire thing a hoax. "Exaggerated" or "a psy-op" are better descriptions.

The idea that it's a pandemic superbug is the hoax.

The hoaxes are the media productions, and hospital stagings, masks, etc.

Hoaxes abound.

I agree that the media is hyping it up, and the lockdowns are terrible for the economy. But there is literally no cost in social distancing or wearing a mask.

They are huge psychological costs in treating everyone around you like they are plague carriers. There are huge psychological costs in being treated like you are a plague carrier everywhere you go. There are huge psychological costs from not being close to people, not embracing ones we care about. Also they destroyed the economy without Corona and are blaming the virus to deflect any culpability.
