How to use "Epidemic" in context?
Epidemic is a term used to describe a widespread occurrence of a particular disease. There are several ways to measure an epidemic, but generally speaking, an epidemic is a problem that is becoming more common over time. There are several potential causes of an epidemic, including a virus, a bacteria, a rodent, or a new type of parasite.
Some epidemics are linked to certain climates, such as malaria in warm climates, and influenza in cold climates. Populations at high risk for these epidemics tend to living in those climates. However, more recently, epidemics have been linked to human behaviors, such as HIV and the flu.
