A pandemic (from Greek πᾶν pan "all" and δῆμος demos "people") is an epidemic of infectious disease that has spread through human populations across a large region; for instance multiple continents, or even worldwide.

an epidemic is a spread of a disease that affects more people than is usual for the locality or one that spreads to areas not associated with the disease.
