1 million dead out of 800 million is just the same mortality.
One in 10 people around the world may have contracted Covid-19, the World
Health Organization said, at a special meeting of WHO leaders.
A top official said the estimate meant "the vast majority of the world
remains at risk".
Just over 35m people have been confirmed as being infected with
coronavirus - the WHO's estimate puts the true figure at closer to 800m.
Experts have long said the real number of cases would exceed those
confirmed.
The WHO is meeting at its headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland, to discuss
the global response to the pandemic.
Ten months on, the crisis shows no sign of ending. Several countries are
seeing second waves after easing restrictions and in some cases numbers
are even higher.
