Just a point of order for the journalists out there who think they are so smart:

There is no such thing as a “global epidemic”

Epi- from the Greek meaning “at.”  Epidemic is a disease outbreak localized to an area.

Pan- from the Greek meaning “all.”  Pandemic is an outbreak everywhere.

A “global epidemic” is an oxymoron, and using it makes a talking head look like a moron.

  1. And here I thought “pandemic” had something to do with bread people. Possibly gingerbread people.
    Unless it was pasture people. Or a population of chimpanzees.
