gripe epidemica
en efecto pandemic es como epidemico y en USA lo utilizan cuando el Virus Influenza entra contagiando a muchisima gente

Tomás Cano Binder, BA, CT
: Perdón por el disagree. Creo que hay una diferencia clara entre epidemia y pandemia, y aquí el inglés dice "pandemic". Por tanto sería peligroso recurror a "epidémica".
