Define pandemic
lol ok. Literally just copying from wiki just to humour you now
“A pandemic (from Greek πᾶν, pan, "all" and δῆμος, demos, "local people" the 'crowd') is an epidemic of an infectious disease that has spread across a large region, for instance multiple continents or worldwide, affecting a substantial number of people.“
Wait, there is no death criteria? A fucking cold can be a pandemic? Is this what you thought the definition was?
Did the definition change?
No. The literal next paragraph states:
“ Widespread endemic diseases with a stable number of infected people such as recurrences of seasonal influenza are generally excluded as they occur simultaneously in large regions of the globe rather than being spread worldwide.”
Anything else, dear?
