Endemic, Epidemic, or Pandemic: What’s the Difference?
What’s the real difference between an endemic, epidemic, and pandemic—and why does it matter?
In this episode, we break down these key epidemiology terms in simple, easy-to-understand language. You’ll learn how epidemiologists classify disease spread, what these situations look like in the real world, and why severity isn’t just about which label sounds “worse.”
We also discuss how diseases transition between stages, explain related concepts like outbreaks, sporadic disease, elimination, and eradication, and explore how COVID-19 is currently classified and debated as of 2026.
