Answer:
Pandemic flu" has been one of the buzzwords of late 2005. But how does the phrase that's on everyone's lips differ from "epidemic," that other well-worn disease term?
Apparently, a lot of people aren't sure. Merriam-Webster reports that "pandemic" is the seventh most frequently looked-up word in its online dictionary this year. The definition: "occurring over a wide geographic area and affecting an exceptionally high proportion of the population."
This is almost the same as the dictionary definition for "epidemic," and it doesn't explain much when it comes to influenza -- a.k.a. the flu.
An epidemic of influenza is different from the dreaded pandemic that scientists and world health officials fear is nigh. We might see an epidemic of seasonal influenza during any given year. In fact, we just had one.
Flu reached epidemic levels in the U.S. for 10 weeks in a row during the 2004-2005 season. Records kept by the CDC show that during the week ending March 5, 2005, 8.9% of all deaths reported in 122 U.S. cities were due to influenza and pneumonia (a common complication of the flu).
The CDC's definition of a flu epidemic relates to the percentage of deaths in a given week caused by influenza and pneumonia. The "epidemic threshold" is a certain percentage above what is considered normal for that period. The normal level, or baseline, is statistically determined based on data from past flu seasons.
Christine Pearson, a spokeswoman for the CDC, cautions that the definition of an influenza epidemic doesn't apply to other diseases.
Seasonal flu epidemics may sicken millions, but those who die are typically a small number of the elderly, very young children, and people with weak immune systems. That's not the case during the worst influenza pandemics.
There are two main features of an influenza pandemic. First, the virus is a new strain that has never infected people before. Second, it's on a global scale. Sometimes it's also unusually deadly.

Assignment Summary
In this assignment, you will create parallel time lines describing important developments that occurred during the rise of Muslim empires and at least one other civilization.
You will create a time line that shows key dates and events from the expansion of Muslim empires, including events that took place during the growth of the following empires:
Early Muslim caliphates, including the Rashidun caliphate started by Abū Bakr, the Umayyad dynasty, and the Abbasid dynasty
The Ottoman Empire
The Safavid Empire
The Mughal Empire
You will also create a second time line showing events that took place during the growth of another civilization between 600 CE and 1500 CE. You may choose which civilization to research and highlight. Examples include:
China, including the Tang, Song, Yuan, and Ming dynasties
The Byzantine Empire
The Mongol Empire
Background Information
Following the death of Muhammad, early caliphs expanded Muslim empires throughout the Arabian Peninsula and into the Middle East. The Umayyad dynasty extended Muslim empires west to Spain and east into Persia. The Abbasid dynasty continued to rule much of this same territory for another five hundred years.
After the fall of the Abbasid dynasty, the Ottoman Empire rose in Anatolia. As the Ottoman Empire expanded, two other Muslim empires were formed in Persia and India: the Safavid and Mughal Empires. These three empires existed in parallel for two hundred years, until the Safavid and Mughal Empires ended.
During this same era in world history, several other civilizations continued to expand and develop. For example, several Chinese dynasties controlled territory in East Asia. The Byzantine Empire persisted in the eastern Mediterranean region from the 4th century CE until the 15th century CE. Also, in the 13th century CE, the Mongol Empire rapidly spread across Asia and influenced Europe and the Middle East.
Historians use time lines to track the order of key events in different time periods. Time lines also create opportunities to compare and contrast events that took place in different regions. Focus your time lines on one topic, such as rulers or politics. This assignment will help you practice your historical thinking skills. It will also give you an opportunity to review key information from different historical eras.
