To preserve lives, they should have kept Biden yapping for as long as possible, because he said by the time he finished his talk in Philadelphia yesterday, 200 million would be dead of COVID-19. Barked Biden:

“It’s estimated that 200 million people have died, probably by the time I finish this talk.”

Looks like Trump is once again to blame:

The estimation was probably formulated by Biden himself, considering his recent history with numbers:

Biden has fumbled his figures before, claiming earlier this summer that more than 120 million Americans had died of Covid-19, overstating the true death toll by a factor of 1,000. Back in February, he claimed during a primary debate that “150 million” Americans had died of gun violence since 2007 – nearly half the country’s population.

Maybe it would help if his teleprompter programmers write out numbers instead of using digits, which Biden appears to find confusing.
