What does this statistic mean?

[Dilbertian]

'2,375 cases per 1,000'

I think it makes no sense

Do they mean per 100,000?

Looks like a typo, if it's covid cases they are quoted per 100,000

Probably per 100,000

Orkneys population is about 17,000

So that's roughly about 40 people who have it (with some estimating)

40 / 17,000 is about 2000 per 100,000

No no no

It's about 400 people.

Times 5, not 50...

Thanks
