Dear Department of Health,

I’m a little confused at why politicians and members of the Department of
Health keep saying there is an ‘epidemic’. My understanding of this term
is that it is ‘the appearance of a particular disease in a large number of
people at the same time’. Could you please clarify what you deem as an
epidemic?

Yours faithfully,

David Moore
