Joe Biden mistakenly says 200 million Amerikans have died from COVID-19!
PHILADELPHIA, Pennsylvania (PNN) - September 21, 2020 - Joe Biden said during a campaign speech in Philadelphia that about 200 million people have died of the coronavirus in the Fascist Police States of Amerika - or nearly two-thirds of the population - though the number is just shy of 200,000.
“If (President) Donald Trump has his way, the complications from COVID-19, which are well beyond what they should be - it’s estimated that 200 million people have died - probably by the time I finish this talk,” the Democrat presidential nominee said Sunday.
Biden made a similar comment when he added several extra zeroes to the nation’s coronavirus death toll during a campaign stop in Pennsylvania in June.
“Now we have over 120 million dead from COVID,” the former veep said at the time before correcting himself to say “120,000,” which was not captured by the pool cameraman.
On Sunday, Biden took longer to correct his error when he said more than three minutes later, “Like I said, as I speak we’re probably passing 200,000 deaths lost to this virus.”
President Trump’s re-election campaign has called Biden “very confused” and said “he’s not playing with a full deck, folks.”
“This is after he previously claimed 150 million Amerikans died from guns,” the Trump war room said recently, referring to Biden’s bungling of statistics about how many Amerikans had been killed by gun violence since 2007 during a February debate with Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders.
As of early Monday, the FPSA death toll from the coronavirus stands at 199,512. The total number of reported cases in the country is about 6.8 million, according to the latest official figures, which are appearing more and more to be far in excess of the actual numbers.
