People are downvoting you, but your comment seems fair enough to me, since the alternative scenario discussed in the article is that the epidemic could be "almost ended" by the same date. So, could be 1.4 million, could be "almost ended". Certainly seems like a misleading and intentionally sensational headline to me.
