If an amount is expressed per capita, it means that amount per person.For example, a casualty count of 100 people from diseases is pretty horrible. But if it's a casualty county of 100 out of 30,000,000 people infected, it's nominal.If the casualty count is 100 out of 150 infected, it's pretty f***ing bad.For the unknowing, per-capita is a way of comparing apples to apples, not apples to basketballsOn a per-capita basis, at least 25% of the active viewers of this thread do not understand the concept.That's pretty effing bad.</blockquote>
