According to Dr Charles Leung from HK (some high ranking public health official? Didn’t get his job title) - early numbers in pandemics are usually underestimated.
He called on preparing for a global outbreak, calling odds not insignificant. His live interview is on YouTube. He estimates 44k already infected globally.

Here's another source which mentions the 44K number. The previous comment might have got the name wrong.

Yes, Gabriel Leung is the correct name. Thank you.
This seems to be a key quote.
When you're making a bet, you should know the odds. Influenza is a known thing. I'm not going to think about that facemask knowing that influenza is going around, etc.
