What is the definition of an epidimic?

[Guest guest]

The CDC's official definition of an epidemic is: " The occurrence of more

cases of disease than expected in a given area or among a specific group of

people over a particular period of time. "

So WHY is 910 cases of whooping cough an epidemic and 1 in 91 kids with

" autism " NOT?
