I'm not so sure myself that it's a pandemic. I did a little research yesterday and the numbers for the "Spanish" flu in 1918 and the MILLIONS who died represented just slightly more than 2% of the world's population at that time. Extrapolating that to today's numbers it would be slightly north of 158 million deaths. We are in the several thousands of deaths so far and science thinks they may be starting to find the inoculation. So pandemic seems extreme as a numbers thing.

It was also written that the conditions of the War in 1918, malnutrition, stress, hygenic conditions, probably contributed to a higher death toll, so maybe ElkSlayer isn't far off.

I hope I am right, because a true pandemic number wise is horrific.
