Definición

  • A pandemic typically refers to a situation where an infectious disease becomes newly widespread within a large geographical area and/or globally. In popular culture, the term pandemic has become nearly synonymous with numerous cases of life-threatening illness; however, the severity of the resulting disease is not an indicator of pandemic occurrence.
