And I wish the MSM would stop referring to it as a 'global pandemic'. It's a Greek word which means all around the world and therefore is, by definition, global.

from greek pan ("all") demos ("people") and the latin word pandemus.
But it's been english since 1600s so we can use it however we want. Look at "matrix". It is latin for "female breeder / pregnant animal". Words evolve.
