(Note:Malariaalsokills3000children/day.)• Thenationalaveragepublicschoolstudentsizeisapproximately525students(2018-19).So, 1.1millioninoneyear=3090/day=numberofKidsin6U.S.publicschools/day.

Whatareepidemic&pandemicdiseases?
• Endemic: Regularlyfoundamongparticularpeopleorinacertainarea,anditgoesonthroughgenerations.Example:• Cholera hasbeenendemicinIndiafor2000years.• Plague isendemicintheWesternU.S.,SouthAmerica,AsiaandAfrica.
• Epidemic: Muchmoreacutethanendemic. Awidespreadoccurrenceofaninfectiousdiseaseinacommunityataparticulartime.• Pandemic: Prevalentoverawholecountryortheworld.
