Question

Qual è la differenza tra   epidemic e outbreak e pandemic  ?

mccormick · Accepted Answer

They can be interchangeable sometimes but here are the actual definitions.

Pandemic - prevalent over a whole country or the world.

Epidemic - a widespread occurrence of an infectious disease in a community at a particular time.

Outbreak - the sudden or violent start of something unwelcome, such as war, disease, etc.

An outbreak is usually within a city or small area, an epidemic is usually in a country or state, and a pandemic is the entire continent or world. It's basically just varying sizes. Hope this helps. :)

An outbreak is a noticeable, often small, increase over the expected number of cases. Epidemic is bigger and spreading. Pandemic is
international and out of control.

mccormick · Answer

mccormick · Answer

@Paolo_ok Thank you, and of course ask me anything

mccormick · Answer

8. Deal with
9. To overreact
10. To recover

mccormick · Answer

@Paolo_ok Oh yes. My fault. Yes I did not conjugate them. Except Number 9 confuses me because I feel that a better answer would be "irrationally". But yes you are right about them. 10. Would be recovered. :)

mccormick · Answer

@Paolo_ok I would say overreacting but it still sounds a little strange to me. Maybe the question made a mistake. And no it's ok! Asking questions is how you get better. Never be scared about asking too many questions. :)

mccormick · Answer

@Paolo_ok Yes

mccormick · Answer

@Paolo_ok It would be hoard. If you wanted to use hoarding, you would have to put "are" in front of it. Just like where it says "are buying". So the answer is hoard

mccormick · Answer

@Paolo_ok The answer would still be right, but if the teacher said to use "hoard", then you should use hoard. Teachers usually know best! 😁

mccormick · Answer

@Paolo_ok can you send me a picture? I think it would help me answer better

mccormick · Answer

@Paolo_ok I have to go on my lunch break so I am sorry if I don't respond fast but I will respond as fast as I can!

mccormick · Answer

Oh ok. Then I think Number 4 is "are hoarding" because it is in the present form and gives the impression that you are talking about right now. But "hoard" has no tense, it can be past, present or future. So I think are hoarding is the right answer. 😁

mccormick · Answer

@Paolo_ok Haha yes. That's right. 😂

mccormick · Answer

@Paolo_ok Ok actually now that I look more into it I think 9 is just "overreact". It is very confusing and I hope I'm not too late to make a change

mccormick · Answer

@Paolo_ok Sorry if I am being confusing

mccormick · Answer

@Paolo_ok You're welcome. And yes you can ask me if you have more questions. Nice talking to you! :) :)

mccormick · Answer

@Paolo_ok The answer would be "quarantined". Because "quarantine" is a noun, but the word bank gave "to quarantine", which is a verb. So you would have to conjugate "to quarantine" into "quarantined".

mccormick · Answer

@Paolo_ok No problem! :)

mccormick · Answer

@Paolo_ok Yes I will help. Can you give me more context please? Like what is the question?

mccormick · Answer

@Paolo_ok Ok. Is there a word bank or is it free answer? Like are there certain questions you have to put?

mccormick · Answer

@Paolo_ok Ok thank you for clarifying I am a little bit tired right now haha.

8. What are some of the side effects of the coronavirus epidemic?
9. What is happening to tourism in China and other countries?
10. Can we stop talking about coronavirus?

mccormick · Answer

@Paolo_ok Oh yes. That would actually be a better answer. Sorry. :)

mccormick · Answer

5. What did British prime minister Johnson say that the government is planning for?
6. What does the World Health Organization suggest?
7. Did the government shut down schools to slow down the spreading of the disease?

These are a little bit tough for me and I have spoken English all my life. Haha 😁

mccormick · Answer

@Paolo_ok Oh no worries. I love to help people

mccormick · Answer

@Paolo_ok Yes that would also be a good answer! :)

@Paolo_ok I live in Nevada

mccormick · Answer

@Paolo_ok what part of Italy do you live in?

mccormick · Answer

@Paolo_ok Cool! I have a friend who is from Sicily. And I'm glad you like slangs because Americans use A LOT of slang, especially teenagers and young adults.

mccormick · Answer

@Paolo_ok Yes! Watching TV and YouTube videos are very good because it helps you learn the culture! I think a lot of people trying to learn English make the mistake of not taking in the culture. Culture is a huge part of American English

mccormick · Answer

@Paolo_ok Haha glad you love it so much. :)

mccormick · Answer

@Paolo_ok The correct way to pronounce it is bädl. The ä is a soft o sound like in Novel. People in the Northeast say it like ei because of their accent.

mccormick · Answer

@Paolo_ok Ok. I will ask you if I have questions. Good talking to you! Good night, stay safe and healthy! :)

If we are talking about a disease, then every pandemic is an outbreak, but not every outbreak is a pandemic.
If the disease is contained in a small area, it can be an outbreak in that area, but it is not a pandemic.
