It may mean "million" here.

It's perfectly understandable when you have read the entire context, though.

看了一下前后文，虽然数字很吓人，不过感觉5m a day就是说单日新增500w的意思。

Hi Mxh,

$ o: l) Y/ T7 B% j3 y4 |$ C9 iI must admit I was a bit surprised that such abbreviation could appear in a piece of writing that is supposed to be formal. The English language is deteriorating for sure, so is journalism nowadays. Everything is becoming fastfood-ish.

Be that as it may, I would suggest that we as learners should stick to our ground and try our best o use formal and proper English; the least of that are spellings and punctuation marks.
