(This is just what we need.)

Can we have just one pandemic at a time?

[conuly]

No, I don't think so. I mean, the AIDS pandemic is still very much pan. We just don't call it that, but I for one see no meaningful distinction between a "pandemic" and a "global epidemic", no matter what the WHO thinks.

[wendelah1]

Sorry. That was meant to be a plea to the universe. I agree with you, there isn't a meaningful distinction.
