Apparently the swine flu has been declared the first pandemic in 40 years...
..But was SARS, the illness that went around only a few years ago, not a pandemic?? :/

No. It was an epidemic. Pandemic is world wide spread of human infection.

No, they made noises about it becoming a pandemic, but it never did. If sars was as contagious as the flu, it would have become a pandemic, but it's not as easily transmitted.
After sars they made a lot of noise about the avian flu, saying IT would be the next pandemic, but again, luckily, limited transmission person to person, didn't have the staying power to become a pandemic.
