Ever since humans transitioned from an animal hunting society into agriculture and husbandry, epidemics and pandemics have been close companions in our development right until this day and age. These pandemics ravaged several countries and regions around the globe, partly because there was less knowledge about the causes of these diseases, how they spread, and how to treat them. March 11th, 2021, marks a grim milestone, being exactly one year since COVID-19 was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization. In this episode of the Public Health Insight Podcast, we talk about how and why pandemics, epidemics, endemics, and zoonosis occur.
