Sometimes I feel the opposite. A condition might be described as affecting "only 1% of people" as if to say it's rare and I'm thinking that's so extremely common. I could walk into a highschool and there would be multiple people affected. Or maybe someone in my office has this right now. Even 1 in 100,000 type conditions mean that multiple people in my city have it nevermind the region.
