When people think of pandemics, they might think of a severe disease. But it turns out, pandemics have nothing to do with severity – and everything to do with location.By definition, a pandemic is the global spread of a disease that impacts a large number of people.Think of pandemics as being at the top of a three-tier system of classifying infectious disease.Outbreaks are at the base. They happen when cases of a disease suddenly surge past expectations. The flu is an example of an outbreak doctors expect to see every year.On the second level – epidemics. They happen when the disease involved in the outbreak spreads quickly to a lot of people in a short period of time. They can be local or regional.You’ll find pandemics on the third tier. They’re basically epidemics, but on a global level. That typically means more infections and more deaths.Pandemics are often the result of a new virus or new strain of virus.According to the Association for Professionals in Infection Control and Epidemiology, it says new diseases spread fast because people don’t have immunity.The APIC says pandemics do damage beyond health, saying they also often cause disruption, economic trouble, and general hardship.So, what does this mean for COVID-19? There’s no specific infection or death rate that triggers a pandemic designation. And U.S. leaders recently said the word is largely up to interpretation. For that reason, different health organizations may declare COVID-19 a pandemic at different times.Experts say declaring a pandemic can help get the world on board with finding – and funding – a solution. 1615

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Peace Corps is telling its volunteers around the world that it is suspending all operations globally and evacuating all volunteers in light of the spread of the new coronavirus. In an open letter to volunteers posted Sunday on its website, the federal agency's director, Jody Olsen, says the decision follows recent evacuations in China and Mongolia due to the outbreak. Olsen says that with evacuations now underway at other posts and travel becoming more challenging by the day, the agency decided to expand the suspension and evacuations. The Peace Corps was established in 1961 during the Kennedy administration as a government-run volunteer program serving nations around the world.Read the full letter from Director Jody Olsen: 767

Unrest in Minneapolis continued on Thursday as the Minnesota National Guard was activated as protests and looting continued in the city. Nearly 500 members of the Guard have been activated. "Our mission is to protect life, preserve property and the right to peacefully demonstrate. A key objective is to ensure fire departments are able to respond to calls," the National Guard said late Thursday.The protests were sparked following the death of George Floyd, a black Minnesota man who died in police custody after a police officer held a knee against Floyd’s neck for several minutes. Floyd’s death caused outrage from politicians and civil rights activists as the public revisited tensions between police and the black community. While protest organizers have called for peaceful demonstrations, some have not heeded the call. The tensions reached a fever pitch on Wednesday as several Minneapolis businesses were looted. As protests grew on Thursday, Gov. Tim Walz called for the assistance of the National Guard to handle the protests and riots. "We are ready and prepared to answer the Governor's request. We are currently in process of assigning and preparing units to respond," said Maj. Gen. Jon Jensen.The protests continued to grow late Thursday. Protesters burned dozens of buildings, including a police substation.Protesters, along with Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, have called on charges to be filed against Derek Chauvin, the now fired officer who held a knee to Floyd's neck.Unrest also escalated in neighboring St. Paul on Thursday as police deployed tear gas on demonstrators there. 1613
