IATE Term of the Week: Pandemic The IATE term of the week is « Pandemic », which is the next stage of an epidemic. It has its origin in the Greek pan (‘all’) and demos (‘people’) and is used to describe “an epidemic occurring worldwide, or over a very wide area, crossing international boundaries and usually affecting a large number of people”. A pandemic is therefore an outbreak of a new pathogen that spreads easily from person to person across the globe and on a whole or several continents. It does not refer to its potency or deadliness. The disease must also be infectious to be qualified as a pandemic (for example cancer affects many people around the world but as it is not infectious, it is not a pandemic.) Unlike an epidemic – an event in which a disease is actively spreading – the term pandemic relates to geographic spread. The only current pandemic is HIV/AIDS, which is going on for 40 years. It has not been confirmed whether the novel coronavirus – Covid-19 – will be classified as a pandemic or not, but it said to be on the verge of reaching that stage. You can see above the interactive web-based dashboard hosted by the Center for Systems Science and Engineering (CSSE) at Johns Hopkins University, to visualize and track reported cases in real-time. According to the World Health Organisation pandemic preparedness plan, a response to a pandemic would require national governments to action the “full mobilisation of health systems, facilities, and workers at national and subnational levels”, to “distribute personal protective equipment” and to “distribute antivirals and other medical supplies in accordance with national plans”.

IATE 每周术语:大流行 本周的 IATE 术语是“大流行”,这是流行病的下一个阶段。它起源于希腊语的泛语(‘ all ’)和 demos (‘ peoples ’),用来描述“一种在世界范围内或在非常广泛的地区发生的、跨越国际边界并通常影响大量人口的流行病”。因此,大流行是一种新的病原体的爆发,这种病原体很容易在全球范围内以及在整个或几个大陆上传播。它不是指它的效力或致命。这种疾病还必须具有传染性才能被认定为大流行(例如,癌症影响到世界各地的许多人,但由于它不具有传染性,因此不是大流行)。 与流行病(一种疾病正在积极传播的事件)不同,大流行与地理传播有关。 目前唯一的流行病是艾滋病毒/艾滋病,这种情况持续了40年。 新的冠状病毒( Covid-19)是否会被归类为大流行,目前还没有得到证实,但据说该病毒已接近该阶段。 您可以在上面看到由 Johns Hopkins 大学系统科学与工程中心( CSSE )主持的交互式基于 Web 的仪表板,以可视化和跟踪实时中的报告案例。 根据世界卫生组织的大流行防备计划,应对大流行需要各国政府采取“在国家和国家以下各级充分动员卫生系统、设施和工人”的行动,“分发个人防护设备”,并“根据国家计划分发抗病毒药物和其他医疗用品”。 来源: 系统医院系统科学与工程中心。edu / research / public-health / ncov /。访问日期为2020年3月。 约翰斯·霍普金斯 CSSE 的冠状病毒 COVID-19全球病例. arcgis 。com / apps / opsdashboard / index 。html #/ bda 7594740fd40299423467b48e9ecf6。访问日期为2020年3月。 世界卫生组织公报。谁。int / bullel / volumes /89/7/11-088815/ en /。访问日期为2020年3月。 防备大流行。谁。int /流感/防备/大流行/ en /。访问日期为2020年3月。 由 Eva Gozlan 编写。伊娃于1995年出生于法国,获得应用外语学士学位,目前正在 ISIT 学校验证她的翻译硕士学位和国际交流学位。她与 Termcoord 进行了两个项目,之后于2019年加入为 IATE 的“智能城市”培训,并于2020年加入“欧洲文化中的 Racontez-moi la 文化”。
