The clickbait claim in the title is a lie.
He doesn’t know how many have it, and for that matter, nobody does.
He added: “I think we have between 50,000 and half a million cases right now walking around in the United States.”
He is guessing.

Operative word being "think."
Of course he's guessing.
Borrowed the following from an infectious disease specialist who had posted the following:
"Suppose you catch the virus. You will give it to 3 other people, and they will each give it to three others, and so forth. Here is how the math works, where you, the “index case,” are the first line:
1
3
9
27
81
243
729
2,187
6,561
19,683
59,046
177,147
531,441
1,594,323
4,782,969
14,348,907
So, in just 15 steps of transmission, the virus has gone from just one index case to 14.3 million other people. Those 15 steps might take only a few weeks. The index person may be young and healthy, but many of those 14 million people will be old and sick, and they will likely die because they got a virus that started in one person's throat."
