Now covid19 is supposedly twice as contagious, and there's no vaccine... now considering this, you telling me there have been only 961000 cases?

ETA... I realize corona is more deadly than the flu.
I'd put the max actual cases at like 5 million. Remember, it started from 1 person. It takes a while for that to grow especially considering the longer incubation time.

But it's not like all deaths are getting classified correctly either.
