It seems the original source for all the TIL sites is a WSJ article which wrote that in 2008 there were 1979 people who went to the ER due to bagel related injuries. So it's not 2000 per day, it's per year.
Keep in mind that when a HN user writes things like "seriously", "ask any x", "it's so common". It means they probably don't know what they're talking about.
