About 200,000 Americans have died of the novel coronavirus, but Democratic presidential candidate Joseph R. Biden says it\u2019s closer to 200 million.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf Donald Trump has his way, the complications from COVID-19, which are well beyond what they should be \u2014 it\u2019s estimated that 200 million people have died, probably by the time I finish this talk,\u201d said Mr. Biden in a Sunday speech in Philadelphia.<\/p>\n

The Census Bureau reports that the U.S. population is about 331 million, meaning that a 200 million death count would represent nearly two-thirds of the population.<\/p>\n

This isn\u2019t the first time Mr. Biden has misstated the U.S. coronavirus death count. In a Sept. 9 speech in Warren, Michigan, he said there had been \u201c6,114 military deaths\u201d from the virus, although the Defense Department said there had been seven.<\/p>\n

The Biden campaign told PolitiFact that he meant to say \u201cMichigan deaths.\u201d<\/p>\n

In June, Mr. Biden said that 120 million Americans had died from the virus, as opposed to 120,000, prompting a retort from President Trump.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf I ever said something so mortifyingly stupid, the Fake News would come down on me with a vengeance,\u201d tweeted Mr. Trump on June 25.<\/p>\n

Mr. Biden said at last week\u2019s CNN town hall that \u201call the people would still be alive,\u201d if only Mr. Trump had \u201cdone his job.\u201d<\/p>\n

200 million deaths? That\u2019s most of the US population.<\/p>\n

I have mixed feelings on Trump, but Biden doesn\u2019t seem to know what day it is. He\u2019ll be a puppet for the hard left. Really hope he doesn\u2019t win. pic.twitter.com\/Bz2wHQIkiy<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
