I think the daily case rate is much higher as many people with minor sypmtoms or asymptomatic aren't getting tested or just doing home testing and go unreported. I'm guessing 10 million cases a day, maybe more. Eventually everyone will get it and the virus will burn itself out in the coming months. Africa is looking promising as case loads are decreasing with minimal casualties while most of their population is unvax.
