The part with the arrow is referring to the people who develop the severe form. The circled part says that most people only get the mild type.
Though with that part at the end, it seems like "one out of every 50 to 1000" people is a pretty crazy range. It sounds suspiciously as if they don't really know for sure.

When "the majority of infections in humans are mild or without symptoms," it gets tough to get a baseline reading of how many infections occur, because few go to the doctor with mild symptoms, and even fewer go when they're asymptomatic. So you figure if 50 people are detected with mild cases, there could be, idk, 10-20x as many people out there who go unnoticed because they don't go to the doctor.
Of those who walk across a street and get hit by a Mack truck while getting struck by lightning and finished off by a grand piano falling on them, 100% die.
0 in 100,000 individuals actually has this happen.

There are between 30,000 and 50,000 global cases of Japanese encephalitis each year. Severe disease is estimated to occur in about one in 250 infections. Transmission is seasonal in temperate climates and peaks between May and October, but the risk persists year-round in more tropical climates.
So around 160 people per year get totally wrecked. Another percentage of the ~40,000 get partially wrecked.
Given the number of people in the region, the 'average' risk is close to negligible.

Oh wait, that's only when the chinks release a (shitty) bioweapon or fags spread a disease caught from fucking literal monkeys.
