Pandemic 01


Pandemic 01 :

An epidemic (a sudden outbreak) that becomes very widespread and affects a whole region, a continent, or the world. The word "pandemic" comes from the Greek "pan-", "all" + "demos", "people or population" = "pandemos" = "all the people." A pandemic affects all (nearly all) of the people. By contrast, "epi-" means "upon." An epidemic is visited upon the people. And "en-" means "in." An endemic is in the people. (MedicineNet.com, Definition of Pandemic, 1998)
