Differentiate between any one pandemic in the past with covid-19 Pandemic.
Answers
Answer:
Both cause respiratory disease yet there are important differences between the two viruses. and how they spread. Learn more about it on the World Health Organization website. Recommendation from WHO.
A pandemic is a type of epidemic that relates to geographic spread and describes a disease that affects an entire country or the whole world.
An epidemic becomes a pandemic when it spreads over significant geographical areas and affects a large percent of the population.
In short, a pandemic is an epidemic on a national or global level.
Examples of past pandemics are the flu pandemic of 1968, the HIV/AIDS pandemic, and the bubonic plague.
How is a pandemic different:
Affects a wider geographical area, often worldwide
Infects a larger number of people
Often caused by a new virus or a new strain of virus that has not circulated within people for a long time
Humans have little to no immunity against the virus and it spreads quickly
Causes more deaths
Often creates social disruption and economic loss
The terms pandemic and epidemic are never used to indicate the severity of the disease, only the degree at which the disease is spreading.
