I guess it just depends on which statistics you believe. Here's a link to the Worldometer site, which shows less than 50,000 cases. https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/us/

Also, every time a person tests positive, it's reported as a new case, even though it may be the same person being tested and still showing the virus. People are being tested multiple times as the CDC is recommending and some employers are requiring for their employees to return to work. I personally believe the the reported numbers are inflated.
