"Although many people may become sick because of an epidemic or a pandemic, many of these outbreaks claim very few lives. There are some diseases, however, that are more dangerous. They cause many people to become severely ill and result in many deaths as they spread through communities. It's frightening to imagine a rapidly spreading sickness that could cause death.
