Pandemic
A pandemic is a worldwide outbreak of a specific disease which affects a large proportion of the population. The World Health Organization (WHO) produce a six-stage classification that describes the process by which a novel influenza virus moves from the first few infections in humans through to a pandemic.
National/Global Financial Crisis - Inflation
Negative effects of inflation include a decrease in the real value of money and other monetary items, and if inflation is rapid enough, shortages of goods. Inflation can lead to massive demonstrations and revolutions. Food inflation is one of the main reasons for a sensible food storage program. If inflation gets totally out of control , it can grossly interfere with the normal workings of the economy, hurting its ability to supply goods. Hyperinflation can lead to the abandonment of the use of the country's currency.
