Endemia, epidemia y pandemia.


Diferencias entre endemia, epidemia y pandemia.



Por el actual caso del coronavirus que se teme y se convierta rápidamente en una pandemia, en esta ocasión quise investigar la diferencias que existen entre las endemias, epidemias y pandemias.



Según datos de la Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS):



ENDEMIA.


 
Una endemia es una enfermedad que afecta a un país o a una región determinada de forma habitual o en una fecha habitual. La endemia no siempre se da en enfermedades de mucha gravedad, ya que se puede volver "un factor común de esa población por los elementos genéticos o culturales que la componen".



Un ejemplo de una enfermedad endémica es la malaria en algunas regiones de África.




EPIDEMIA.


La epidemia se da cuando la enfermedad ataca a numerosas personas o a un gran número de animales de un mismo lugar, durante un mismo periodo de tiempo. Puede causar daños a una gran parte de la población, provocando un perjuicio importante en la comunidad, o el lugar donde se haya dado.



Ejemplos: Cólera, Zika, Chikungunya.




PANDEMIA.




La pandemia es la propagación de una enfermedad en forma mundial. También puede ser considerada como un ataque a todos los pobladores de una localidad o región determinada, mayormente se da a través de enfermedades virales como la gripe. Las pandemias pueden tener características epidemiológicas diferentes y grandes brotes en los meses de verano.



Ejemplos: Influenza.

Earthquakes in Mexico.   In Mexico along with other countries, earthquakes are very common and this is because it is part of the Belt or Ring of Fire, located on the coasts of the Pacific Ocean and is characterized by concentrating some of the most important subduction zones of the world, which causes an intense seismic and volcanic activity in the areas covered.   The National Seismological Service in Mexico recorded only 16 thousand 540 earthquakes in the last 12 years, which means that there are almost 4 earthquakes per day in the country.

Political fanaticism.

  Political fanaticism.    In recent years, a very latent phenomenon that has been growing dangerously and vertiginously, in a context of high polarization; this distorter is presented as an enemy of electoral conscience and a healthy and mature democracy, it is political fanaticism.    But let's start by defining fanaticism:    According to the definition of the Royal Spanish Academy : it is an “excessive passion and tenacity in the defense of beliefs or opinions, especially religious or political ones”.    For Voltaire: “Fanaticism is to superstition what delirium is to fever, what rage is to anger. He who has ecstasies, visions, who takes dreams for realities and his imaginations for prophecies is a novice fanatic with great hopes; he may soon get to kill for God's sake."    Therefore, fanaticism is identified by the desire to impose their ideas, despise those who are different, be based on a series of thoughts that ar...
