Like Fabian Spieker before me... it has to do with the definition of the word. I taught Epidemiology in a Health Sciences University for 30 years. Strictly speaking, the textbook definition of a pandemic is just a worldwide epidemic. The strict definition of an epidemic is when any disease occurs in eccess of the expected (endemic) level, which is also a bland definition. But, in the context of what the WHO has traditionally defined, and in order to consider "PH emergencies" the definition of a pandemic has always been as explained in the HART article. The general population does not know the definition of pandemic that I mentioned at the top. Most people never even thought of what a pandemic is. The term was used in a very inappropriate way, with the intention of provoking panic in the population, and supposedly justify all the absurd and harmful measures. I agree 100% with the article.
