Answers:
Vivian is correct - should use the term "pandemic"

HIV is often mentioned as the recent pandemic!.

But aside from that, I'd mention the 1917 - 1918 "Spanish Influenza" pandemic!. Killed more than 40,000,000 people worldwide, and that's more than were killed in world war 1!.

more than 1/2 million dead in the USA alone!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

The correct term for a "global" epidemic is a pandemic!. I believe the last pandemic was HIV/AIDS, though it could also be Multi-Drug Resistant Tuberculosis!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
