500m a day 是什么意思？

武汉加油

这段中的 ... 5m a day 是什么意思？不可能是单日全球新增500万把？

It may mean "million" here.

It's perfectly understandable when you have read the entire context, though.

看了一下前后文，虽然数字很吓人，不过感觉5m a day就是说单日新增500w的意思。

I must admit I was a bit surprised that such abbreviation could appear in a piece of writing that is supposed to be formal. The English language is deteriorating for sure, so is journalism nowadays. Everything is becoming fastfood-ish.
