      This article is about the protesters in Europe, I think that’s what the numbers you mention refer to. I checked the article, it says the following:

        what i was referring to was the absolute underreporting of numbers… regardless It’s appreciated to see everyone to start standing up… especially the US which has grown fat and comfy. The curtain is finally being drawn back.
