Nobody knew for sure whether it would be worse or better than the flu back in february. The projections were all over the place. As it turned out, its a few times worse- which is nowhere close to what any of the major figures or institutions were predicting, generally with either much lighter or heavier estimates. Fauci was asked whether he thought Trump was saying in public what his task force was telling him in private, and Fauci said that he was;

On "The Daily Briefing," host John Roberts asked Fauci if he thought Trump had played down the threat of the virus.
"No, I didn't," Fauci responded. "I didn't get any sense that he was distorting anything. I mean in my discussions with him, they were always straightforward about the concerns that we had. We related that to him. And when he would go out, I'd hear him discussing the same sort of things. He would often say, 'We just got through with a briefing with the group from the task force,' and would talk about it. So it may have happened, but I have not seen that kind of distortion."
"I didn't really go over any of the text since it just came out," Fauci told Roberts. "But you know, in my discussions and the discussions of other task force members with the president, we're talking about the reality of what was going on.
"And then when we would get up in front of the press conferences, which were very, very common after our discussions with the president, he really didn't say anything different than we discussed when we were with him," he went on. "I may not be tuned in to the right thing that they're talking about. But, I didn't see any discrepancies between what he told us and what we told him, and what he came out publicly and said."
