A disease can be declared an epidemic when it spreads over a wide area and many individuals are taken ill at the same time. If the spread escalates further, an epidemic can become a pandemic, which affects an even wider geographical area and a significant portion of the population becomes affected. So to put it in perspective. It was an epidemic in China....once it crossed borders and spread it became a pandemic. Sent from my LG-K371 using Grasscity Forum mobile app
