Pandemic, a word from the Greek pan ("all") and demos ("people"), is the term used by disease experts when epidemics are growing in multiple countries and continents at the same time.

This is different to an epidemic – which is usually used to describe an outbreak that has grown out of control yet is limited to one just country or location.

But despite the fear the word evokes, "pandemic" refers to the spread of a disease, not its potency or deadliness.

According to the WHO definition, a pandemic is "an outbreak of a new pathogen that spreads easily from person to person across the globe".

Also here is the global situation: Coronavirus Update (Live): 125,086 Cases and 4,590 Deaths from COVID-19 Virus Outbreak - Worldometer

It's definitely pandemic, spread to all continents and it feels like Europe is melting. Italy is in crisis, but it seems that many countries will soon follow it.

Yep the count is still low in my country, but the cases have doubled in only two days. From 30 to 60. So maybe it will be 90 tomorrow if this pace is continuing.
