Zachary Rubin, M.D. from Santa Monica-UCLA Medical Center and the Word “Pandemic”

The publication Vital Signs states that the word “pandemic” does not measure severity.  The word “pandemic” is a measure of the geographic spread of a disease.

The word “pandemic” means a worldwide epidemic.

From Dr. Zachary Rubin, infectious disease specialist at Santa Monica- UCLA Medical Center and Orthopaedic Hospital.
