I don’t know if Biden said he was asked to do something about Covid 19 in 2016, but if he did he was mistaken, because Covid 19 is called 19 because it first came to light in 2019. I think there may have been some other virus issue in 2016 that was NOT Covid. We had several virus scares that decade. In 2016, Zika, spread by mosquitoes, was a significant issue with the most US cases in Florida, but also in other states.

No, Biden was not asked to do something about COVID in 2016. He is senile and said that, but that did not actually happen in reality.
No, there was not an issue with a virus in Detroit that Biden was dispatched to deal with. You do show imagination for remembering such a virus for which Dr. Jill developed a cure, and Senile Joe went to Detroit to fix it.
The White House correction was to claim that Biden was dispatched to fix the recession. I very vaguely recall Joe Biden going to Detroit and fixing The Obama-Biden Recession of 2016 which resulted from eight years of the Obama/Biden administration. I am mildly surprised that the Biden administration remembers an Obama-Biden recession.

White House officials went into cleanup mode after President Biden delivered a gaffe-riddled speech to the NAACP in Detroit Sunday — making a whopping nine corrections to the formal transcript.
The changes fixed both trips of Biden’s tongue — such as calling Capitol rioters “irrectionists” — and flagrant retellings of history, like claiming he was still vice president during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The official transcript, released Monday, made no bones about the errors, with strikethroughs of Biden’s mistakes and the corrected comments included in brackets.
The 81-year-old’s address to the 69th annual Fight for Freedom Fund Dinner was part of an outreach effort to black Americans as polls show support for him softening in the demographic.
Here are the nine adjustments that were made in the official transcript:
Vice president during the pandemic
During his opening, Biden conveyed his “love” for Detroit, before slipping up and suggesting he was the vice president during the outbreak of COVID-19.
“And when I was vice president, things were kind of bad during the
pandemic[recession], and what happened was Barack said to me, ‘Go to Detroit and help fix it,'” the transcript said.[continues with eight more gaffes]
