In yet another embarrassing slip-up, President Biden Tuesday accidentally provided a lowball estimate of COVID-19’s death toll — saying “over 100” Americans have died from the disease since it emerged over three years ago, Ednews informs, referring to New York Post.
Biden, 80, committed the gaffe — which was later corrected to “over 1 million” in an official White House transcript — while announcing a new plan for the expansion of mental health care.
“We’re still feeling the profound loss of the pandemic. As I mentioned, we have over 100 people dead,” Biden said at the White House.
“That’s 100 empty chairs around the kitchen table. Every single loss, there are so many people left behind and broken-hearted,” the president added.
