Biden Made a Mistake by Understating COVID-19 Death Toll in the U.S. by 10,000 Times

U.S. President Joe Biden has made a significant error by stating that more than 100 people have died from COVID-19 in the country. In fact, he was off by 10,000 times.

“The sense of loss after the pandemic does not leave us. More than 100 people have died. 100 empty chairs around kitchen tables,” Biden said while announcing the expansion of access to mental health support services in the U.S.

As reported, the White House crossed out the “100” in the transcript of his speech and indicated “1 million” in parentheses.

According to data from Johns Hopkins University, as of May 2022, more than 1,000,091 people had died from the coronavirus and its effects since the beginning of the pandemic in the United States.
