Still epidemic, and I'm pretty sure it won't become pandemic because developed countries and developing countries (where do I even place the USA now) trust in vaccinations

eh, pandemic, epidemic, what's the difference?

I know there's actually a difference and the difference does matter, but I don't know what the difference is and I use the two words interchangeably. My point was that shit's fucked.
