COVID-19: Worldwide 1 million confirmed cases, 50,000 deaths, daily new cases to exceed China's total
Those are the milestones passed today or soon, on 3 April 2020.
"Global coronavirus cases surpass one million" (Reuters).
Daily new cases for 2 April: 79,71, as against China's 81,620. China is now 4th-ranked in. overall cases, exceeded by the US, with nearly a quarter million, Italy, Spain, and Germany. Again, "confirmed cases" greatly undercounts actual infections.
It's likely there are ~190,000 future fatalities amongst the 750,000 presently active known cases.
