There's really no such thing as an idiotic question. Posing questions is how we learn.
An epidemic occurs when an infectious disease affects many individuals in an area or population at the same time.
A pandemic is an epidemic that becomes very widespread; e.g. multiple geographical regions, or, potentially, the entire world. It's the worst sort of epidemic, in other words, in terms of how many people are affected.
Hope this helps.

im sorry to trouble you (and i feel quite idiotic for my question) but is the true difference between an epidemic and a pandemic?

A Flu shot is also part of the problem. People wonder why, when they actually DO get the flu, they suffer for longer. The answer is because their immune systems are out of practice for dealing with viruses. If you don't allow your immune system to be exposed to viri, you will get sicker when you DO get one. Flu shots will never be on the menu for myself or my family, just another way for the health industry to bilk money out of the public.

Seasonal flu shots won't do any good against a pandemic virus, probably.
I say "probably" because there's a remote chance a mutated avian flu virus might snitch a protein coat from a regular flu virus against which you've had a flu shot. If it does that, you might get some benefit from a seasonal vaccine. But that likelihood is low.
It's hard enough to get those shots to work against "tame" flu viruses, because they mutate so rapidly.

Understood - thank you.

Urgelt is just a pseudonym.
I was never an actor, and I have never worked professionally in broadcast media or film. I'm just a guy who points a camera at his head, like most of the uploaders here.
There's a bit of the ham in all of us, I think. |
