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.

Fanaticism.

Feeling the passion for something is extremely positive because it leads us to achieve our goals, but when it becomes an uncontrolled obsession goes to the negative side. Extreme fanaticism has existed for many years, throughout history to the present, many cases have been known where a person or a group of people perform irrational acts damaging others. "When fanaticism has hardened the brain, the disease is almost incurable." Voltaire.   The word fanaticism is made up of fan: which refers to an enthusiastic follower of a person or thing in particular; and by ism: this term refers to a doctrine or belief. So it can be said that fanaticism is the vehement pursuit and defense of a person, doctrine or religion in an extremely passionate way, losing any critical sense, breaking the barriers of the rational, leading people to take actions that can threaten even against common sense and is characterized mainly by defending and ...
