Hey all, just wanted to say that this is a great article and really comprehensive. I took a stab at editing the Zika section just to include some more information, polish up the timeline of events, and ensure that all claims were scientifically correct. On that note, just want to give a heads up: in professional public health realms, ebola is not considered a pandemic. In general, pandemics are disease situations where simultaneous transmission takes place worldwide. Please see this guidance here from the WHO. Ebola never met that criteria, even when cases occurred across some country lines. However, rather than delete it entirely, someone could replace it with a report of the influenza A(H5N1)pandemic that occurred in the mid-2000s (I want to say somewhere between 2009-2011, I think). Let me know if there are any thoughts or push back. Thanks for the opportunity to edit! Ligrayphd (talk) 01:07, 23 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
