In Detroit, many people came down with the bird flu. Was this an example of a pandemic or an epidemic? Why?

Anna11 [10]

Answer:

$\boxed {\tt Epidemic}$

Explanation:

First, let's define pandemic and epidemic.

Pandemic: a disease outbreak that affects many people and many continents, or the entire world
Epidemic: a disease affecting more people than usual in a region or community.

This question asks us about many people coming down with the bird flu in Detroit.

Detroit is just one specific region and the bird flu didn't spread to many countries or continents. Therefore, it is best classified as an <u>epidemic.</u>
