I think Trump believes all the hot spots that pop up can be put out.

It is already being reported, some hot spots in rural areas are overwhelming the only hospitals available.

(Edit for clarity: 'that' nonsense is Trump's thought process, not yours)

"just the flu" until his warp speed vaccine is proven not to work, which he will blame on dems anyway.
