Where it says next 2 months?

If the doubling time is one week there is just something like 100k - 200k infections in next two months.

I think those numbers are yearly infection estimates.

I think the graph meant 96 million infections active in the peak two months. Hard to be sure without seeing the presentation, but it definitely isn’t the next two months.
