Station 1: What is the difference between epidemic and pandemic?
Epidemic vs. Pandemic
A pandemic is a type of epidemic (one with greater range and coverage), an outbreak of a disease that occurs over a wide geographic area and affects an exceptionally high proportion of the population.
While a pandemic may be characterized as a type of epidemic, you would not say that an epidemic is a type of pandemic.
