ok fine, but it does not mean its fatal.

If you mean it is not a term which is related to mortality rate then you are correct.

But try telling that to Express readers

Incorrect Pandemic means that the virus has spread across the globe and is spreading in an inter-community manner within several regions.

Call it 1%. Sounds low doesn't it?

Pick a number from 1 to 100.

If it was 1% and it is a true pandemic then it isn't low as you're looking at 30million deaths (50% infection). But checking again and 220 or so of deaths where in Mexico. So more like 0.1% or less probably.

Actually a pandemic simply means that it spreads easily, not that it is fatal.

It's not random though is it?

If you're old or young, or immuno-suppressed your chances are a lot worse.

Similarly, if you're a healthy adult the chance of you dying is much less.
