1. Global pandemic (Pandemic)
refers to an infectious or non-infectious disease that spreads widely across the globe. Generally, it is caused by a new infectious disease, usually involving a large population and occurring more than the average case. Examples: the bubonic plague in the 14th century, the Spanish pandemic of 1918, influenza A (H1N1) in 2009, and the current crown disease (Covid-19).
2. Endemic epidemics (Endemic)
In epidemiology, an endemic is defined as an infectious disease that is persistently and repeatedly prevalent in an area without the importation of foreign cases. After the number of infections reaches a certain number, it remains stable because the body develops immune factors. Bone pain fever is one of the endemic diseases.
3. Epidemic (Epidemic)
Generally, it is an uncommon or unvaccinated infectious disease that suddenly spreads rapidly in one or more areas, spreading faster and involving more areas. epidemic is used for regional spread, as in the case of New Coronary Pneumonia, which initially broke out only in China and was called an epidemic, but was then upgraded to Pandemic after spreading worldwide. middle east respiratory syndrome, West African Ebola virus disease are Epidemic, the aforementioned cases are only endemic in West Africa and the Middle East and have not spread globally.
