I think most people refer to the social distancing rules and lockdowns as a hoax. It's certainly instigated and amplified by the media, it's not properly implemented anywhere, it's certainly not having the intended effects and is making things a lot worse.
The mask wearing thing is a complete hoax as well, if you're not properly wearing N95 masks and throwing them out every 15 minutes, the mask has the inverse effect, it's catching particles and keeping them there for you to touch and breath in later. Surgery masks are not intended to catch particles at all, it's to keep a sterile environment semi-sterile, wearing them in non-sterile environments has no effect. Wearing a scarf has no effect at all or else nobody in winter would get a cold.
Right now the 'rise in coronavirus cases' is certainly a media hoax. It's simply referring to people that have tested positive, which you will test positive even if you had symptoms 6 months ago. People are dying exponentially less than they were before but nobody is reporting on that. So in that sense, the current coronavirus and continued lockdown threats are certainly a hoax.
On the other hand, a lot of anti-government types believe it is a litmus test for those that do easily comply and may even turn into a shibboleth for the sort of folk that will be allowed to benefit from society and those that should be outcast.
