Flipped over to Fox News and immediately heard a distortion of Joe Biden's words (then flipped back)

The commentator said Joe Biden blamed Trump for over 190,000 coronavirus deaths, then showed a video where Joe Biden was asked "Do you blame Trump for thousands of deaths?" and Joe Biden answered "Yes."

"Thousands of deaths" is perfectly reasonable, but Joe Biden certainly didn't claim that every single coronavirus death is Trump's fault.

Population of South Korea is about 50 million (rounding for ease) population of USA is 325 million.

We had same day for first case. So we should have approximately 6.25 times more deaths than South Korea.

They have had 350 deaths, so that means we should have around 2,200 deaths Every death above that is on failed policies of Trump.

So, not every death just all but 2,000..
