Talk:2012–2013 flu season

Globalize

Someone posted a tag that this article did not represent a global perspective. I added links to flu reports in China and Europe and put all the United States information in a dedicated section in response to this, then removed the tag. Blue Rasberry (talk) 17:57, 11 January 2013 (UTC)

Flu Epidemic

Recent news is now indicating that this flu season is now a national epidemic.[1] [2] Perhaps this page could be renamed in a similar manner to the 2009 flu pandemic (which the 2009 flu epidemic redirects to)? 98.27.229.36 (talk) 22:59, 11 January 2013 (UTC)

It's not a pandemic; pandemic implies that it has spread across multiple countries. "Epidemic" maybe. We should probably wait on calling it a pandemic unless and until the WHO labels it a pandemic. Writ Keeper ⚇♔ 23:05, 11 January 2013 (UTC)

I think we should at least call it an epidemic. There's been a lot of media coverage revolving around the severity of this particular flu season. Here's one really informative article from the Associated Press about the widespread nature of this virus strain. [3] Seeing as how there aren't any other articles like this one (e.g. there isn't a "2011-2012 flu season" or a "2010-2011 flu season" article), we could simply retitle this article as "2013 North American flu epidemic" or something.
