    I think the point of that was mostly to give info on the population of Peru to put the other numbers into context. I know a lot but the approximate population of Peru doesn’t come to mind off the top of my head.

      That’s fair. When I see a country name, the population of the country isn’t really something that comes to my mind since I just figure it’s a significant enough number of people (generally in the order of tens to hundreds of millions, except notably populous or small countries).

        It’s an order of magnitude difference in prevalence if Peru only had a population of 3 million, which if you asked me before I read that would have been a plausible number.
